Han Duoduo was overjoyed. She had been keeping an eye on Wang Yue the whole time and had noticed him wave his hand. Ice had immediately formed overhead, and it was growing thicker by the moment.
She thought Wang Yue might be able to use magic. It was so mysterious! Maybe he really had met her parents, just as he'd said.
And when she remembered him promising to protect her, she felt so safe that she hurried to obey and climbed out of the balloon.
Liu Qi and Han Zi'ang saw that Han Duoduo was already out, so they hurried out of the balloon too and followed Captain Wang into a nearby building.
Wang Yue had planned to wait until everyone else was inside before taking the flint and leaving. But after Captain Wang and Liu Zi went in, Gangzi and Zhou Qian stayed outside to keep watch, while Hammer escorted the engineers, Liu Qi, Duoduo, and Old Han inside.
Watching them, Wang Yue thought glumly, I'm the one doing all the heavy lifting, and there's even a supervisor watching me. This is just bullying.
Still, he had to put up with it for the sake of "recharging." Dragging the flint, he ran toward the elevator.
Zhou Qian and Gangzi watched Wang Yue drag the flint along as if it weighed nothing, and they were both astonished.
If they hadn't tried to pull it themselves earlier, they would have thought it was made of foam.
Liu Qi saw how easily Wang Yue dragged the flint and curiously gave it a try. He strained with all his might, but the flint only shifted a little.
Only then did Liu Qi truly become impressed with Wang Yue. He was clearly a top-tier big shot. Liu Qi had to stick close to him.
