A day passed in the blink of an eye!
"Director Mu, these are the remains of the missing Blackbird Guards. Give them a proper burial!"
"Their compensation shall all be calculated at ten times the usual amount!"
"Tell them it is this Director's order!"
Within Mingxin Prefecture, Lu Xuan returned once more. With a casual wave of his hand, purple light flashed and vanished, and fourteen exquisite boxes instantly appeared on the ground.
