Revised: Chapter 7 The Kingly Way of Fatty

After a moment of silence, Mickey turned around and saw Milan looking over with concern from the brightly lit hall in the distance. He sighed, "Lieutenant, can you walk with me?"

Damn, you're a Vice Admiral and I'm a Lieutenant. Can I refuse? Tian Xingjian nodded, accompanying Vice Admiral Mickey along the gravel path in the garden.

"Lieutenant, your name is Tian Xingjian, right?" Mickey had heard this renowned name from the Command Department through Milan.

"Yes, General."

"A Han?" Mickey and Tian Xingjian turned onto another path.

"Yes, General."

Mickey waved his hand with a smile, "Don't call me General, this is a private conversation. I'm a Han too. Since you and Milan are friends, you can call me uncle as per our traditions."

Tian Xingjian looked relieved; he feared formal talks with a General the most. He quickly adapted to the situation, sweet-talking, "Haha, Uncle."

"How did you meet Milan?" Vice Admiral Mickey asked casually.
