Liens walked to the "waiting area" designated by the Instructor, where the first person to pass the assessment was waving to him in welcome.
Liens naturally knew this "first person"; he vaguely remembered his name was Harriman, and among the remaining Trainees, he was considered to be among the top.
"Liens, my friend, I'm so glad to see you here."
When Liens approached, Harriman, with a smile on his face, warmly welcomed him.
Although he couldn't tell if the smile on the other person's face was genuine or not, he understood that this was the other person showing him goodwill.
The reason was nothing more than two words—value.
Although there was actually no communication between the two of them, it was even less likely that they could be called "friends."
But as long as you have value, there are many people who want to be friends with you.
However, most of these "friends" are only superficial acquaintances, with very few truly deep friendships.
