Off to France

On the way there, not knowing where the destination was always made it feel unbearably long.

The way back was much better.

Walking along the powerless subway tracks and turning through one gentle curve after another, they saw the expected light.

Amber was still waiting there.

She did not dare storm off in a huff, nor did she dare follow them. Her hands nervously twisted her braids as she stood there looking uneasy. Lord Zhao's safe return greatly encouraged her, and she let out a sigh of relief.

She released her braids, stood up straight, and held herself rigidly.

Since Zhao Bai had approached without immediately driving Amber away, he must have had a task for her. There was no doubt about it.

Amber had grown very used to this.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Bai came closer, new orders were issued.

"Amber, don't reopen the subway yet. Send a cleanup team down first to collect all the crystals. Remember to wear protective suits. Some monster fragments are embedded in the iron walls. Call the construction crew too, and have them ready to begin work at any time..."

"Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm~"

(⊙﹏⊙)

Amber listened and took notes at the same time, but as if she had suddenly realized something, her smooth movements abruptly froze, her eyes filled with shock.

This was actually a proper task?

That wasn't normal!

If she had not been wearing a mask, they might have seen tears glimmering at the corners of Amber's eyes by now. It was a complicated emotion, excitement mixed with joy. She silently clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and slowly bowed.

"Understood."

People were just like that. As long as the bar was set low enough, satisfaction naturally followed.

Especially since Zhao Bai had always acted so inhumanely around
