"We have arrived" Alexandra's voice reached my ears.
I shook my head and looked out the window to see that the car had come to a halt in front of an enormous building. I sucked in some air. This is the first time I've seen a structure of this size in my life.
I saw that many soldiers were going in and out of the building. Some of them stopped to gaze at the car. And when that old stepped out of the car, almost everyone gave him the salute.
My brows were raised when I saw that scene. This old man is really in some high position in the forces. I turned around to look at Alexandra, who had a bitter smile on her face.
"He is the chief of the forces,"
I was surprised. This old man was the chief. But he didn't look like it. He was just like an old man from the neighborhood.
Anyway, what is has to do with me? I stepped out of the car to see that many eyes were fixed on me. I could see that many had confused expressions on their faces. They would try to deduce my identity as I traveled with their chief.
But their gaze shifted to Alexandra, who stepped out of the car after me. I could see the reverence in many eyes as they stared at Alexandra. Many of them even saluted her. I was surprised. This is the first time I am seeing the might of Alexandra. She also commands the top post in the Forces.
I shook my head and followed them inside. I could see that many eyes were fixed on me. I didn't mind. After a few days, they would salute me, just like they saluted the pair of father and daughter.
As I stepped into the building, I saw a huge lobby, while many female and male soldiers were handing over the affairs at the reception desk.
They stood up when they saw Alexandra and her father entering the lobby. But they were so disciplined that they started doing their work after saluting him.
Alexandra turned around to look at me. "First, we have to register you. Lily would help you out. I would soon catch up to you after finishing some work."
I nodded, and Alexandra made her way towards the elevator with her father.
"Shall we go?" Lily's voice reached my ears.
When I turned around to look at her, she had a smile on her face.
"Surprised, isn't it?" She asked me.
I nodded. "I am really surprised. I didn't know that this place would be this big. But I am more surprised by the fact that the old man is the chief of the forces,"
Her brows were raised when she heard my words, but she nodded and said, "Her family is one of the most powerful families on this planet and many of her family members occupy important posts in the forces. But you should know that she climbed up to this position by herself. She didn't even take help from her family even though they have a tremendous influence in the forces,"
She took a deep breath, and her eyes scanned the building. "She could have lived a comfortable life, but she spent most of the time conquering the planets. She really is the specter of the forces. Once she attacks, no one can stop her. But suddenly, one day she took the break from the frontier and she took over the facility. But she still holds the decisive power in the forces."
Lily turned around to look at me. "You are lucky that you have her support. Many of the families on this planet tried hard to make her marry in their families. But they all failed. Those useless bastards couldn't even hold a candle in front of her. Anyway, we should finish the formalities. I heard that you are being selected for the candidature for the Prime Three. The force would spend a decent amount of resources to nurture you. You should take advantage of this time and become powerful."
She turned around to gaze at the distance. "You don't know, but many people die while attacking and defending from the enemies. If you are powerful enough, many lives could be saved."
But suddenly, she shook her head, "What am I blabbering about? We should finish the registration first. But since you are the special candidate. The formalities would be finished soon,"
"We should go," she said and turned around to walk in a certain direction.
I could still feel that many eyes were fixed on me. I shook my head and followed her to the elevator.
And as soon as we entered, I saw her pressing the button for the 50th floor. My brows were raised. When I stepped out of the car, I saw that this building was very huge. It felt that this building was touching the sky. But suddenly, I heard a voice beside me.
"Hi, I saw that you came with the madam. Who are you?"
I turned around to see that a young soldier was gazing at me. I shuddered and all the hairs on my body stood up. His intentions were not looking pure. But before I could reply, Lily interrupted.
"You don't have to know. But you should know that he is the candidate for Prime three."
The man shook, and a fawning expression formed on his face.
"I knew that you would not be a normal man. Especially when Madam and the chief came to pick you up. By the way, I am Brett. You should remember me when you become of the three."
I shook my head and stared ahead. Both worlds are the same. When this man got to know that I was going to be someone who held the power. He started buttering me. But I would see many people who would try to take advantage of everything.
But suddenly, the sound of the elevator broke my thoughts. I saw that we have reached the 50th floor.
Lily stepped out of the elevator, and I followed her out. But that man's voice reached my ears again.
"Remember me,"
I frowned. What type of man that was. How could he try to cling to me?
"People are always like this. When he got to know that you could become one of the powerful men in the forces, he started fawning over you. You would meet many people like this. Now it's up to you about handling these types of people." Lily's voice reached my ears.
When I turned around to look at her, she started walking towards a room. A sigh escaped my lips and followed her.
As soon as I stepped into the room, I saw that it was quite a huge room and many people were handling the sitting behind the desk while they were handling speaking to soldiers.
Lily turned around to look at me. "Come with me,"
She went towards an empty desk and the man behind the desk was doing something on the holographic screen.
As soon as Lily stood before the Desk. The man gazed at her. But suddenly, a smile formed on his face.
"I didn't expect that you would be back. Are you joining again?" The man asked Lily. I could see that he knew Lily and was fascinated by her.
"I am not here for me," Lily said, and turned around to look at me.
"Come here, Alan. I would introduce you to Richie,"
So he is Richie. I saw that when his gaze shifted towards me; he had a surprised expression on his face. But soon it was replaced by wariness.
My brows were raised. Does he think that I am his competitor to Lily? Does he really think that he could hold a candle against me? A sigh escaped my lips. What a pitiful man.
A strolled towards him and nodded, "Hi, I am Alan,"
He didn't reply but turned around to look at Lily. "Who is he?"
Lily frowned when she saw his actions. "I think they have informed you about the candidate for Prime Three who would join today,"
The man's eyes went wide and his gaze shifted to me again. "Are you that Alan?"
"I am the only one," I replied, while a smile formed on my face. He is really pitiful. But anyway, it's not his fault that he doesn't know about me and I could understand his wariness. I am so handsome that none of the men in this world could feel safe around me. They always had the fear that I would steal their woman. Well, it's not their fault.
He smiled and said, "Actually, I was waiting for you. Sir has already instructed everything to me. Please give me your ID card."
I nodded and gave him my card. He scanned my card on a scanner before looking at me.
"Please wait for a moment,"
I nodded and saw that he went inside another room. And after a while, he came out. I could see one more card in his hand.
"Welcome to the forces. This is your temporary ID card. There are a few more formalities that have to be completed before you receive your permanent ID card. Anyway, I heard a lot about you and expect great things from you."
I was not surprised when I saw the change in his behavior. I nodded.
"Thank you,"
