Chapter 1637  Dinael's Decision (2)

He had a seven-day break after his return from the Trial of God Rank until his first administrator mission. He spent two days on the dungeons issue. Then he brought the dwarves for a discussion with Li Shuang about their territory in the God Realm.

Tang Shaoyang hoped he could spend the remaining five days with his daughters and his wives. But he could not do so. The problem with The Zheng Kingdom spreading out. It became a poison to his Father-in-law's heart.

Kang Jiayi requested a private meeting with him, and he wanted to resign from his position. That was right, his father wanted to resign after making sure everyone from the Zheng Kingdom was caught.

The Chief of TEIS was ashamed that he fell for such a trick. He felt like he was not qualified enough to hold the position.

If he was good with words, Tang Shaoyang would try to persuade the old man not to resign. TEIS was built by Kang Jiayi, with his vision for the internal security of the Tang Empire.

Tang Shaoyang closed his eyes, tapping the table with his index finger. Kang Jiayi was accompanied by his eldest son, Kang Zian. They were waiting for his approval. Kang Jiayi came to Li Shuang first, but Li Shuang sent them to him.

"Do you have someone in mind to succeed in your position? We haven't had anyone to replace you since this is so sudden."

He looked at his brother-in-law, squinting his eyes, "What do you think about your son? Is he qualified to succeed in your position?"

"No, I can't, Your Majesty. I am not part of TEIS, and I don't think they will accept me as their leader. And I don't have a plan to leave my post in Tarrior as well."

Kang Zian's answer surprised Tang Shaoyang.

Tang Shaoyang thought Kang Zian was part of TEIS since he followed his father around. This meeting and when they met him in the throne hall as well.

"TEIS has two Deputy Generals. You can choose one of them to succeed me, Your Majesty."

Tang Shaoyang did not like the way Kang Jiayi worded the sentence. While his father-in-law proposed someone to succeed in the position, it sounded like he was not confident with his choice.

"Do you think that person is qualified to succeed in your position? Can that person do better than you?"

Kang Jiayi lowered his head, ashamed to look Tang Shaoyang in the eyes. He did not answer the question.

The silence was an answer for Tang Shaoyang.

He let out a sigh, "Isn't this the same as running away from your responsibilities? Honestly, I am disappointed that you fell for the skill, but you can't be blamed for that. But I am even more disappointed in you now. Instead of trying to fix your mistake, you choose to run away from your responsibility instead."

Kang Jiayi just sat in silence, with no words.

"You should have heard about the war that will most likely happen in ten years. Did you know?"

Kang Jiayi was not in the meeting when he discussed The Nirvana Alliance and The God Alliance. However, Li Shuang should have sent Kang Jiayi the report for the meeting. Kang Jiayi was the leader of one of the biggest divisions in the Tang Empire. He should be informed about the matter.

Kang Jiayi responded with a nod. He received the meeting report, and that was the last push to make such a decision. He felt he was not good enough to lead TEIS and hoped Tang Shaoyang would appoint someone more capable than him to take the position.

In this kind of situation, someone in his position should not make such a big mistake. He should not make Tang Shaoyang worried about the security of the Tang Empire. But he failed and made a big blunder.

Tang Shaoyang pushed back the resignation letter toward Kang Jiayi, "If you know, then you should not resign and recommend someone that I can't trust to replace your position. Keep this and lead TEIS until I resolve the problem with The Nirvana Alliance and The God Alliance."

Kang Jiayi raised his head slowly and looked at Tang Shaoyang in surprise.

"If by the time I get rid of those two alliances you still want to resign, then I will accept your resignation. If you really want to resign by that time, then you must prepare a proper candidate to succeed you to lead TEIS. Can I still trust you for my people and the empire's safety, Chief Kang?"

Kang Jiayi looked at his resignation for the last time before locking his gaze with Tang Shaoyang. Despite his old age, he did not lose his vigor and spirit for his work. He took the resignation letter and stood up from the chair.

"I am grateful for your trust in me, Your Majesty!" Kang Jiayi bowed, "I will make sure not to disappoint you for your trust. You can leave your people's safety to TEIS!"

"That's what I want to hear from you. You can leave me now."

Kang Jiayi bowed once more, and Kang Zian also bowed before turning around to leave the room.

"Ah, meet the dwarf in two days. They could make some kind of amulet that could resist abnormal status. That will help you if you ever face someone like that Zheng guy."

After the father and the son left, Tang Shaoyang leaned back in his chair. He was genuinely disappointed with Kang Jiayi. Not because his father-in-law fell for the hypnosis skill, but because of the resignation letter. If his father-in-law insisted on resigning, then he would not choose someone to succeed Kang Jiayi, but to merge the Intelligence Division into TEIS.

Lu An would be the new Chief of TEIS, but The Intelligence Division would be part of the TEIS. That was the plan if Kang Jiayi was stubborn to resign. He would not choose someone he did not trust for such a big position.

Tang Shaoyang was about to leave the room as well. Today would be his last day before he went to the God Realm and Administrator Space as well for the mission. He wanted to spend his remaining day with his daughter, then a last night with his wives.

[Dinael requests to meet you, Your Majesty. She wants to discuss your proposal.]
