Shadows of the Deep Space-Chapter 831 - 389 Stingy (Five-in-One)_2

"Certainly, miss!"

Alekde nodded heavily in reply.

"Okay, I leave it to you, I’m off."

"Take care, miss!"

"Mm."

The purple-haired girl nodded slightly, then got up and left.

...

Twin Hotel · Lobby.

Su Ming and the others gathered together, chatting happily about this Star Storage event.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps appeared, and Vice City Lord Okens came out of the elevator looking slightly dazed.

"Lord Vice City Lord Okens has come down!"

Su Yao and the others called out in surprise upon seeing him.

Everyone quickly came up to greet him.

Okens paused slightly, looking at Su Yuan and the others, he spoke blankly.

"You all?"

"Lord Okens, have you finished the discussions?"

Zhou Mu asked, suppressing his excitement.

"Discussion, discuss what?"

Okens replied with a blank face.

He hadn’t discussed anything with Alekde, it was just a one-sided interrogation.

Zhou Mu and the others were taken aback upon hearing Okens’ words, each opening their mouth awkwardly.

"It’s about the rewards for this Star Storage event!"

Keku hurriedly nudged Su Ming with his arm and said.

"Su Ming, as the team leader, aren’t you going to say something?"

Su Ming smiled helplessly and said.

"Lord Okens, this Star Storage event ended quite successfully, everyone worked really hard, shouldn’t the merits and rewards be on the agenda now?"

"Oh! You’re talking about this!"

Okens suddenly realized, with the Star Storage mission completed, it was indeed time to discuss rewards.

"Yes, Lord Okens!"

Zhou Mu and the others replied excitedly.

"The rewards are definitely happening, rest assured everyone! However, you need to let me understand the specific details and clear up everyone’s performance before I can submit the report for you, right?"

Okens thought for a moment and then said to everyone.

"You’re right, sir."

Zhou Mu and the others quickly agreed.

"How about this, Su Ming, you will be in charge of keeping track of everyone’s performance in this Star Storage event, organize it into a report for me. You all can directly report to Su Ming."

Vice City Lord Okens then tossed the task to Su Ming.

"Yes!"

Su Ming replied helplessly, but he didn’t refuse, after all, as the nominal leader, he had to finish what he started.

"Thanks, Lord Okens!"

Zhou Mu and the others were extremely delighted to hear this and expressed their gratitude.

Okens nodded slightly and left behind them.

Inside the lobby.

Zhou Mu and the others crowded around Su Ming, each person very excitedly expressed.

"Su Ming, with our relationship, you must write well!"

...

Seeing this enthusiastic bunch, Su Ming felt a bit of a headache.

A simple tally made him the center of attention, but he responsibly replied.

"Rest assured, I will surely report truthfully!"

At this, Zhou Mu and the others rushed to speak to Su Ming, worriedly.

"What do you mean, ’report truthfully’? You need to embellish it a bit, write it positively!"

"Yeah, write it positively!"

"Everyone put in so much effort, it wasn’t easy to complete the task!"

...

"Shh, the officers are still over there."

Su Ming quickly reminded Zhou Mu and the others.

Zhou Mu and the others turned their heads to the right side.

They saw General Gabres and General Sigurd standing not far away, looking at them expressionlessly.

Zhou Mu and the others suddenly froze, each of them fell silent.

This is when Su Ming smiled and said to Zhou Mu and the others.

"Don’t worry, I’ll write well, so come one by one."

Though Zhou Mu and the others really wanted to overreport, in Su Ming’s eyes, it was no big deal.

After all, each of them was truly putting in effort, none of them backing down.

"Mmhm."

Zhou Mu and the others suddenly beamed with joy and lined up consciously.

...

Nighttime.

Inside a luxurious room.

Vice City Lord Okens paced back and forth, his hands behind his back, pondering matters.

Knock knock!

Then there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Vice City Lord Okens called out immediately.

The closed door opened, and Su Ming walked in with an organized document, respectfully greeting.

"Lord Okens!"

"Ah, it’s Su Ming, come sit!"

Seeing it was Su Ming coming in, Okens was all smiles as he pulled Su Ming to sit down.

"Hmm?"

Su Ming sat on the sofa looking bewildered.

Okens then went to the tea table, opened a box of tea leaves, prepared a cup of tea, and handed it to Su Ming, asking with concern.

"Su Ming, I’ve heard you were injured, how are you feeling now?"

"It’s alright, thank you for your concern, sir."

Su Ming replied, a bit overwhelmed by the favor.

He felt Okens was being excessively warm to him, leaving him somewhat at a loss.

"Su Ming, you really helped me out big time this round. If it weren’t for you, things wouldn’t have been resolved so perfectly. If the Third Prince had really risen to power, it would have been a huge problem. That guy has messy ties with the Dark Star Empire and Heavenly Revelation Divine Country, leaving the Federation’s interests completely insecure, and then I’d have no way to explain to the Council."

Okens expressed his gratitude to Su Ming.

In fact, the deep-rooted reason behind why Okens was so grateful to Su Ming involved more layers.

In recent years, though the Federation was corrupt, it always adhered to a rule set by the Council Chairman, that is, those capable take charge.

This rule is simple, regardless of how you ascended to this position, you must exhibit certain political achievements.

Though he is a Vice City Lord, basking in glory.

He, too, has performance targets, and if he fails to achieve them, he will be out of a job.
