Outside the City of Dawn.
Not far from the First Army Corps's station, a Tiger Whale Transport Aircraft, trailing a pale blue plasmic tail, slowly descended on the tarmac.
Yi Chuan, who had just finished a meeting, stood outside the tarmac and went to greet Minister Wu Changnian as he walked out of the cabin, his face wearing a warm smile as he extended his right hand.
"Welcome, Minister Wu!"
"Ha ha, my dear Yi, long time no see!" While shaking Yi Chuan's right hand and patting his shoulder, Wu Changnian looked at the young man before him with a beaming smile.
Compared to the confused young man of last year, this youngster had indeed grown significantly.
As he had anticipated, this place was more challenging than he had imagined.
With a firm pat on the shoulder with his left hand, Wu Changnian then released his right hand and began introducing the few people behind him.
