I even knelt down before Li Tianfang so as not to offend him!

Peng Yong looked at the city lord, and a feeling of "grievance" suddenly welled up in his heart.

Peng Bing was also very puzzled.

At first, the city lord didn't mention Peng Yong's name, and he thought that after announcing the reward for Zhang Lin, the city lord would announce the reward for Peng Yong, but...

After the city lord finished speaking, there was no further comment.

Zhang Lin scratched his head, wondering why he felt that the city lord was plotting against him.

"Lord of the city, my son went on a mission with Captain Zhang..." Peng Bing couldn't hold back any longer, stood up, and subtly reminded him.

He figured the city lord had probably forgotten, and if he reminded him, the lord would announce Peng Yong's reward. He didn't even expect Peng Yong to receive the same reward as Zhang Lin; he would be satisfied as long as Peng Yong's ranking improved.

However, the city lord merely glanced at him and said indifferently, "Didn't you say you felt ashamed and wanted Peng Yong to do something for Hope City? Now you're bringing this up because you want a reward?"

"I..." Peng Bing's face turned red, and he couldn't speak.

He never expected that the city lord would actually use his previous words to retort to him...

Peng Yong also fell silent.

Now, he seems to have finally understood a principle.

Sometimes, a person is not rewarded for completing a task... but rather, a task is assigned to someone as a reward.

It was clearly the city lord who wanted to reward Zhang Lin, which is why he gave Zhang Lin a seemingly legitimate task...

And he...

Chun Chun is just there to make up the numbers!
