The day after tomorrow? To the Civil Service Department?
Mekhis face darkened with anger.
If his arms werent aching, hed have dealt Ryder a blow on the head.
I assigned you one task-to register with the National Security Bureau! But you postponed it! Youre utterly useless! Kneel down now!
Mekhi commanded.
Mekhi
Ryder glanced nervously at the servants and the butler in the dining room, terrified and enraged.
Amidst outsiders, Mekhi demanded him to kneel. This was a humiliation that Ryder couldnt bear.

The anger that had simmered in his chest since yesterday afternoon found release on his siblings, and strangely, it brought him comfort.
He softened his tone.
Choose any department you like, but not the Civil Service Department!
I need you to establish yourself in the National Security Bureau quickly, so you can help me in the future. Its time for you to shoulder responsibilities and contribute to the family. Do you understand?
Ryder broke out in a cold sweat in distress. Despite his reluctance, he gritted his teeth and replied, Yes.
