Her children stood by their father’s side with red eyes .

“Director Yun, I apologize for my tardiness!”

She winced .
Despite the boy’s young age, his aura was extremely oppressive and overpowering!
She was a little taken aback .
“Did you really give it your all on this mission?” he coolly asked . “Are you no better than those people? Commander, I’m very disappointed in you!”
“I apologize, sir . It… was my dereliction of duty this time!” Her head lowered in guilt .
Alas, he mercilessly spat, “Reflect on this once we return!”
She gave him a loud and resounding answer . “Yes!”
Thereafter, as she carefully examined his face, she said, “Sir, I’ll bring you back now . ”
“No!” he responded resolutely .
The boy sighed . “I’ll return after attending the funeral!”
His subordinate replied, “Noted!”
