"General Kaine, I must say, you are the second bravest person I have ever seen."
Zarek glanced at the nameplate of the man and smiled warmly. "It's my pleasure to meet you as well, General Alex."
"Hahaha, it's nothing compared to the famed general who defeated a group of Level Nines with sheer strength alone," Alex said with a chuckle. "Your reputation echoes throughout all seven empires, while the Reinhart Empire reels in shame and humiliation."
"It's nothing compared to a Telekinetic Master like yourself. I pale in comparison," Zarek replied humbly, even as he cursed inwardly: 'I hate these fake pleasantries.'
"Haha."
The atmosphere was pleasant as Zarek was led to his luxurious mansion, slightly smaller than the one Drayken resided in, but still grand enough to accommodate an army and the servants who would attend them.
After settling in, General Alex smiled and said,
"I hope you get a good rest. You have a hunt tomorrow, General Kaine."
