Prelude to the Clash (Two Chapters Combined)

"Beast footprints?"

Lin Li was extremely surprised after hearing what Liu Jialin had said.

Then he sent a voice message, asking, "If the final investigation shows that the place where the flood occurred was really attacked by an exotic beast, how will it be handled afterward?"

"Tracking down the culprit and fixing the oversights will require quite a lot of manpower, but the Ability Management Bureau is already short-handed..."
