"You will be given the same rank as the one that I. You will be a major as long as you agree to the deal." Alonso replied with a wry smile on his face.

Jack thought and then asked. "Is it possible for my rank to rise higher than that?"

Alonso felt his lips twitching at the question that Jack had just asked. Just giving Jack the rank of a major was something that the Colonel had decided on.

He himself didn't think that it was alright for someone as young as Jack holding so much power in the military but having no restrictions at all. He could decided to misuse the power that was granted to him.

But in the end, the colonel had insisted on that. In the end, the major had decided to mention that at the very last moment, his trump card in convincing Jack to join the military.

But what was going on now? The rank that he had thought was too big for Jack, he thought that it was small and that he wanted a higher rank than that.

He himself had to tire himself for over two decades in the military, going through several dangers, before he was promoted to become a major after serving as a captain for a decade.

Still, he didn't show much on his face. He looked at Jack with an ambient smile on his face as he replied. "Yes, it's possible for you to raise your rank and become a colonel. But, that's something that can only happen when you have several accomplishments under your belt.

In other words, if you want to get a higher rank, you simply have to take on a few missions and complete them perfectly. Once you have gained enough merits, you can be promoted to become a colonel."

Jack looked at Alonso with a deadpan expression on his face. He could tell that the guy was trying to be sly. But, that was something that he could easily tell.

What Alonso was telling him was simple. Become more useful to the military and you will be rewarded by becoming a colonel. As simple as such.

In the end, he simply shook his head. He still had a lot of missions from the system. Although it looked like he only had a single mission, which was to dominate five industries, it was something that would take a lot of effort to be completed.

So, he didn't want to engage himself in other things that would take a lot of his time. Although he didn't like working a lot, he had no choice but to take things more seriously and work together with Denali so that the conditions could be fulfilled faster.

As for the military rank, to him, this was nothing but a decoration to him. It wasn't like he was planning on using the authority that he had been granted any time soon. In other words, he had decided to agree to this just as a precaution.

"Okay then. How do I get that badge?" Jack asked as he leaned back on the couch that he was seated on.

Alonso smiled before he clapped his hands. And immediately after that, the door of the mansion was opened and three soldiers clad in their uniforms entered the living room.

Each of them had something that they were carrying on their hands. They each had a glove on their hands as well. And as they entered the room, they were matching as if they were on a parade.

The soldier who was in front was carrying a black military uniform that was well folded. On top of it was a pair of military boots. The one that was following behind him was carrying something that looked like a badge that was placed on a velvet box.

And the last soldier was carrying a small rectangular box. The contents of the box were unknown as Jack couldn't see through things…yet.

After the three arrived in the middle of the living room, they stood upright and awaited for Alonso's command.

Alonso stood from his seat. He then cast his gaze at Valnaro who was seated on the couch with his eyes unfocused. The glass that he was holding in his hand was still half filled with the juice that he had poured him.

In the end, Alonso could only shake his head. He understood that Valnaro was shocked. Well, he wasn't the only one that had been shocked. He too had been like this, though a little better, when the Colonel gave his decision on the matter that he had brought before him.

He decided to let Valnaro be for the time being. He headed towards the three soldiers that were standing straight and still as if they were statues.

He moved to the first soldier. He then had his expression turn solemn as he took the uniform from the soldier's hands. Then, he gazed at Jack and stated, "Once you receive the uniform, you will become a soldier."

Jack understood the underlying meaning of Alonso's words. So, he got up from his seat. And although he didn't like being restricted by the military system, that didn't mean that he demeaned the soldiers or something.

In fact, he had some kind of respect for them. At least till this day, he had never met with a soldier that tried harassing him.

He faced Alonso and waited. The moment that Alonso stretched his hands to give him the uniform, Jack reached out both of his hands as a show of his respect for the soldiers.

When the uniforms were in Jack's grasp, Alonso spoke. "From now on, you are a soldier. And as a soldier, I hope that you will fulfill justice for the country whenever the chance presents itself."

Jack nodded in agreement. Although he was no saint, if there was an incident like the one that people attacked his hotel, he would definitely do something about it.

But of course, that was on a premise that he won't have to lose his life. He wasn't ready to exchange his life for a person that he didn't know just because he was a soldier after all. He was still young and had a few more years to live.

Seeing that Jack was nodding, Alonso smiled in appreciation. Then, his expression returned to its previous solemn self.

The soldier who was previously holding the uniforms took a step back after giving a military salute. Alonso then went forward towards the second soldier who had already come forward.

Alonso then took the badge that the soldier was carrying. It was oval in shape and was made or painted in silver. At the center of the silver metal, there was a scythe that was black in color.

Then above it, there were three golden stars. These were just like the stars that were on Alonso's shoulders,

"This is the badge. This is something that you can use to show your authority when you don't have a uniform on you. And, in case you are wearing the uniform, there are three stars just like the ones that are on my shoulders.

Make sure that they don't leave your clothes at all. That's because even I myself don't have the authority to change them, only the colonel can do that for the majors and below."

Jack nodded as he received his badge. To say the least, or looked cool.

After receiving the badge, he pocketed it, causing the lips of all the soldiers present to twitch a little at how he was handling the badge.

In the end, Alonso could only continue with what he was doing. As the second soldier moved back after a military salute, the third one approached.

Alonso went ahead and opened the box that he was carrying. And inside it, there was a gun. To be precise, it was a pistol.

Before Alonso could say anything, Jack spoke first. "The Glock 19, a compact handgun. A handgun large enough to fill your hand.

The weapon features a 4.02-inch-long barrel, an overall length of 7.28 inches, a height of 5.04 inches, and it weighs a little over 30 ounces, fully loaded with 15 rounds of 9mm.

It's smaller than most duty-sized handguns, like the M9, M17, and M1911. The Glock 19 is a good in-between size that allows it to serve as both a duty handgun and a concealable firearm. The Glock 19 is just right in the size department for a multi-mission role."

When Jack gave the brief introduction of the gun, all the soldiers in the room looked at him with surprise clear in their eyes.

But Alonso on the other hand managed to recover faster. He nodded. It was good that Jack knew about the guns and was not a newbie that would have to start training.

As for where he learnt about the weapons, that was something that didn't concern him at all. Jack was now part of their military. This in itself was enough that he wasn't their enemy.

Additionally, although he had joined the military, he didn't have that much authority like the other majors. In other words, he won't be able to access some of the sensitive information of the military.

In this way, even if he was part of the enemy nation, he won't be able to get any information that could be used again them.

But if he was on their side as they believed, the better that he was, the good for them the moment that he took on the missions that he would be accepting in the future.

Alonso handed the gun to Jack and said, "The gun is currently fully loaded. As for the ammunition that you would need in case you have used all the fifteen rounds inside, here they are.

This box contains 100 bullets. I believe that this should be enough, right?" Alonso asked as he handed a small box that contained bullets.

Jack smiled as he replied. "This should be enough for now, I think. But in case there will be more attacks on my property, I don't think that they will suffice."

Alonso ignored whatever Jack had said. Then without saying another words, he stood in attention and performed a military salute.

"Major Jackson!"

The three soldiers alongside Valnaro who had just come back to his senses did the same thing.

"Major Jackson!"
