Strange enough, Gao Yang didn't receive his promotion order.
Although Gao Yang also felt that getting promoted after every battle was indeed too fast and exaggerated, he had destroyed a Rebel Army headquarters and captured over twenty foreign prisoners. These were solid proofs of foreign direct involvement in the Syrian Civil War. With these two merits, Syria should have shown some appreciation, and the only thing Syria could offer was probably a honorary military rank.
But two days have passed since returning to the airport, and Dani still hasn't shown up. The expected awards, the promotion glorifying Gao Yang alone, or the more tangible rewards like bonuses—all were absent, as if the Satan Mercenary Corps had been forgotten.
It was bizarre for Gao Yang, and equally puzzling for Gilanor and Farouk. What was even more strange was that after Dani took the prisoners away, he didn't return, and no one knew what he was up to.
