“That’s right!” Pilos nodded and said, “It’ll take thirteen years at the earliest.”
Charlie looked at him and said seriously, “As long as you work for me wholeheartedly, I will let you enter the first level of the Dark Realm within a year!”
“A year?!” Pilos’s eyes widened as he exclaimed in surprise, “Are you serious, Mr. Wade?!”
Charlie asked him, “Do you think I need to lie to you?”
Pilos said with a look of panic, “I’m sorry, Mr. Wade, I don’t doubt you. I just... I just can’t believe that I can achieve a breakthrough to the Dark Realm in such a short period of time...”
Charlie looked at him, pointed at Porter, and said calmly, “You’re Porter’s master. He has to respect you in private, but after you join my command, you will stay here to help me control this copper mine. Porter will be your immediate superior, and you should listen to his command and report to him in everything. Can you do that?”
Pilos said piously, “Mr. Wade, I will obey all of your instructions!”
Charlie nodded and said to Porter, “Porter, Syria and Cyprus are only separated by two hundred kilometers by the Mediterranean Sea. It’d be convenient for you to come here from Ten Thousand Armies’ base. You can choose a small team from Ten Thousand Armies to be based here permanently in the future to ensure that everything here is under control and so that they can contact you in time if there are any movements.”
Charlie and Pilos were only meeting for the first time, so Charlie did not trust him.
If it was purely based on his selflessness toward Porter back then, it could be inferred that this person’s nature would never be bad.
