The smile on Giles' face froze.
"Dr. Moran, can't you offer a bit of a discount? Ten million gold coins is not a small burden for the Academy."
Moran turned around and gave Giles a mechanical fake smile.
"Dean, aren't you the highest authority of Sai Enshi Military Academy? Are you telling me you can't even handle ten million gold coins?"
Giles looked bitter.
"You have no idea about my difficulties. Payment for the trainees' instructors, daily expenses, and the replenishment of the Gene Nutrient Liquid Pool..."
"All these expenses add up to astronomical figures every month. The members of the Federal Government's budget committee, they see my old face and act like they've seen a ghost."
Giles' words made Moran giggle.
She glanced at Yang Fei, seemingly unintentionally.
"Since the funds are so tight, why, Dean, do you act like a sucker?"
Giles was startled, could it be Moran aimed that ten million salary at Yang Fei?
