Red Whale swallowed the small piece of high-energy body that even Leo could not make sense of.
But Red Whale seemed to have no reaction at all. It merely swished its tail slightly, showing how satisfied it was with this little snack, and transmitted a happy thought to Leo.
Perhaps Red Whale knows what this is. I can ask him after he wakes up.
Seeing Red Whale fall back into slumber, Leo did not stay on the moon any longer and vanished from where he stood.
Still deep in sleep, Red Whale's long, narrow red stripe gave off a faint glow before once again returning to normal.
Sure enough, less than two minutes later, Leo reappeared in the ruined testing room.
By then, it was empty.
Leo strode out. Chen Haoran, still bare-chested, stood outside in a daze, staring blankly at his hands.
Only when he saw Leo did a glimmer of spirit return to his eyes.
He first looked Leo up and down, confirming that the tiny fireball from earlier had disappeared. A trace of disappointment showed in his eyes, but quickly faded.
"Boss, thank you so much for just now. If it weren't for you, I think I would have died at least three times already."
"It's nothing. I only hope you won't disappoint me. Let me see just how powerful your ability really is."
Leo finally began to feel a trace of anticipation toward the adult Asian man before him.
"If you meet my standards, perhaps I'll allow you to go out and carry out missions."
Hearing Leo's words, Chen Haoran clenched both fists and excitedly gave a soft "Yeah."
It wasn't that he had always been unwilling to go out. In his heroic dreams, he had long been eager to venture out and fight for justice.
