Chapter 162 - Its Time For Plan B (2/2)
We might have asked him to act fast, but... not this fast, right? Both Sir Ahmad and I were stunned as we saw the scene in front of us.
He had been here for what? Around two or three hours, but how did he manage to make the men sing together with him? They looked so close that if someone who didn't know better would say that he had been with them for long.
After four hours, I could see their cooperation and coordination were superb. They understood him so well that they knew what he would do with just a glance, and he knew how to communicate with them.
”Well, that's surprising.” Sir Ahmad said calmly even though there was surprise in his voice. ”I don't think we need to use the plan that we have arranged for him. He looks fine to me.”
”Of course, we can't.” I frowned. ”I think it's time for Plan B.”
”You have Plan B?” Sir Ahmad looked at me in surprise.
”Of course.” I nodded without adverting my gaze from Tom who was still playing outside. He looked like he was home, as if he was born to do this.
”What is it? Tell me!” Sir Ahmad looked at me expectantly.
”What else? Let him meet the Master. He has done his part of the job, to get to know the men. Now that he already did it, we can't force him to stay, can we?” I replied casually.
”Are you sure?” Sir Ahmad looked doubtful.
I could understand the meaning behind his question, after all they had been the one that held the selection and train the Generals. And they knew perfectly well how long they would need to get into those men's good book. Seeing that Tom only needed less than six hours to do that, Sir Ahmad may be feeling a bit skeptical.
”Absolutely. Well, he is heading towards where Master is, after all.” I answered. ”Come on, we need to tell him.”
The rest of the process went fast as Tom said goodbye to the men. When I mentioned to him that we were heading to meet the Master, he didn't say anything. It was clear that he got annoyed for a bit, but he didn't voice it out.
”After you meet Master, your position as the General of FIrst Army will be engraved into your soul. I must say that the process was a bit painful at first. If you want to back out now, this is your chance.” I reminded him casually.
”As long as it won't take long, it doesn't matter. I need to go somewhere after this.” He said coldly.
Yap, he was definitely upset. I had the urge to ask him where he wanted to go, that if he were to see Jane, he might as well stick close to me and I would take him to her through the shortest shortcut.
But, I held back. My hand moved to open the door to our dimension, then another door. In a flash, we had arrived in the front yard of Jane's house.
”Come on.” I gestured for him to follow me, and he did. Obediently, he walked behind my back and stopped in front of the main door. ”Ring the bell, or knock. Whatever.”
I could have brought him inside, but I wanted to see both of their expressions. It must be funny. Only imagining it could make me chuckled.
He didn't say anything or ask anything. He pushed on the ring bell and waited for any response. It didn't take long as the front door was pulled open from the inside by someone. Both of their expressions were amusing, but I frowned as I really didn't like this kind of reaction.
