"Ding-dong~ Top floor~"
The elevator finally reached the top floor.
"Damn it~ What kind of crappy elevator is this? An hour to go ten thousand meters? Does it crawl like a snail? No wonder that kid who came up to pass on the message still hasn't gone back. A round trip takes two hours." Liu Qing looked speechless. Crossing a single Red Line had actually taken him an hour.
He then looked at Sengoku and his companion. Although he already had an idea, he still asked, "What are you two here for?"

Their expressions immediately changed.
Jaygarcia Saturn Saint stopped cursing and
