"How dare they!"
Perfected One Nagiko glanced at the message and immediately raised her brows and glared, radiating authority. "The City Heroes have only just been chosen. Who had the gall to make a move against you already?"
"Exactly." Yue Wen nodded repeatedly. "If this is true, what they're trying to snuff out isn't just my life, but River City's future! They clearly have no respect for you, Perfected One!"

Perfected One Nagiko nodded. "I think so too, but..."
