The Major General, not yet thirty years old, had spearheaded such a perilous struggle for the Imperial Throne and emerged as the ultimate victor. Everyone was well aware that the position of Imperial Marshal was inevitably Fu Xing's for the taking, opting not to assume it just yet was simply his way of keeping a low profile.
After all, at his age, being a Major General Commander was already the youngest on record, to become Marshal would be utterly shocking.
Murphy had not been close to Fu Xing before, although he had studied him to understand an opponent, the deepest impression was that he was a genius Commander, interpreting war as an art form to its utmost. His other impressions were not so favorable.
However, after this incident, Murphy realized he had been mistaken.
Fu Xing's greatest skill was not commanding in battle but rather in political manipulation and strategic maneuvering.
He was not yet thirty yet cunning as if he were three hundred.
