Chapter 363: Chapter 329: Promotion Strategy (Three in One)_2

Abner Lane snorted and said, "You just got promoted from Prescott to revered Lord, and now you want to be a Commandery Commander?

Think about how quickly you’ve been promoted? How long has it been since you joined the Horizon Bureau? Even if it’s a special promotion, you need to have corresponding achievements. Otherwise, how can I explain to the others in Horizon Bureau?"

Owen Bertram hurriedly said, "The promotion of Summit Commander Office to Summit Command Headquarters is also for the overall situation. There has been a major change in the Copper Gorge Extinction Domain. The matter of Spiritual Treasure Embryo has led to the emergence of Demon Beings, who will soon burst out of the Extinction Domain. The task I bear is much heavier than we initially thought!"

He told Abner Lane about the Spiritual Treasure Embryo affair, omitting the part where he benefited, and then said, "If you want to talk about merits, isn’t it a significant merit that I risked my life to personally investigate the situation in Copper Gorge Extinction Domain?

Besides, after the establishment of the Summit Command Headquarters, I can first act as the Deputy Commander and await my promotion to Commander once I achieve more."

Abner Lane found his subordinate to be rather headache-inducing. He was capable but always seeking benefits, well-versed in the art of ’crying babies get the most milk’ technique.

"This matter... needs to be discussed by all Commanders at the General government. I can’t decide on my own anymore," Abner Lane finally told the truth, "Even if I promote it, at least another Commander Lord has to support it."

"The number of Commanderies under the five General Government Commanders is limited. If you want to elevate Summit Command Headquarters, it will be equivalent to adding another Commandery under me, and other Commanders will definitely disagree."

Understanding Abner’s point, Owen Bertram said, "It’s because your subordinates are too strong, making others unhappy."

"It’s good that you understand this principle," Abner Lane replied.

The strengths of the five great Commanders under the General Government varied. Abner Lane was already envied by many, and if he added one more Commandery, the others would undoubtedly resist.

Master Lane was relieved that his difficult subordinate could understand but was surprised when Owen Bertram said, "That’s because you’re not absolutely strong, Master Lane. Otherwise, why would you care about other Commanders’ opinions?"

Abner Lane: "..."

Do you have any respect for your superior?!

He really wanted to smack this rebellious subordinate’s butt with a sword through the air!

Abner Lane angrily said, "I am at the Seventh Level, leading the five great Commanders in strength! I have a strong force under the command of the Southern Prison, ranking second in the number of high-ranking Officiants among the five and first in the number of Fourth Great Realm or higher. Is that not enough for you?"

He continued menacingly, "If my Lord Bertram thinks that I am not strong enough and not worth following, I can let you go. I will recommend you to any Commander Lord you like."

Owen Bertram shrank his neck, and through the Communication Talisman, he sensed the Seventh Level’s fury. He grinned, "I was just joking with you, sir. As a Seventh Level, you treat your subordinates so kindly and approachable, making me feel like I’m in the warmth of spring...""

"Enough," Abner Lane interrupted, "don’t spend all your time trying to dig out benefits from me. Focus on your work and guard Copper Gorge at all costs for me. Lord Dunn and I will never let down those who have served us well.

Besides, discuss well with Rachel and the Lioyd Sect. Let them see that our Horizon Bureau is worth their long-term commitment."

"Yes," Owen Bertram agreed, but he did not give up his idea of promoting the Summit Commander Office to Summit Command Headquarters.

"Is there anything else?" Abner Lane asked.

Owen Bertram cautiously inquired, "There’s no more official business, but I felt today... do you have any opinions about me, sir? I feel your attitude toward me today is not good."

Abner Lane: "..."

You still want me to coax you gently while taking time out from the busy war to talk to you?!

Are you going to rebel, young man?!

But... Abner Lane truly had an opinion; he gnashed his teeth and said, "Why did you provoke that woman?!"

Owen Bertram was confused, "That woman? Who?"

Abner Lane: "Nick Liam!"

Owen Bertram didn’t think much of it, "I needed someone to help, and you were in the army. Master Liam was nearby handling a case..." He hadn’t finished speaking when he realized that Abner Lane had decisively extinguished the Communication Talisman!

"Rude," Owen Bertram pouted, suddenly realizing something was wrong between Master Lane and Nick Liam.

His gossiping heart was just ignited when suddenly, a flash of light flew over, and Nick Liam’s Order Talisman arrived again.

This time, splinting through the door with a snap, it caused a big hole and aimed straight at Owen Bertram’s face. Startled, he dodged, and the Talisman stabbed into the wall behind him, four fingers deep!

Owen Bertram muttered to himself, "Is she angry? Did she just turn her back on me after getting my benefits?"

Swish---

Amid the bursts of light, Nick Liam appeared with an icy expression, "Lord Bertram, you truly do a lot, just like Abner Lane!"

"Is this little thing enough to give to a beggar?"

"I, the North Prison Commander, a Sixth Great Realm peak expert, how could my efforts be worth just several Tier-5 Demon Artifacts?"

In Owen Bertram’s heart, he screamed: Something is definitely going on between these two!
