The room was back to normal, with the golden lotus looking exhausted after being toyed with. She collapsed onto the table.
She didn't even have the strength to lift a claw.
Seeing Hannah return, she wailed as if wronged, "You're not human, you treated me like this!"
Busy with her computer, Hannah replied offhandedly, "I'm not human in the first place."
The Golden Lotus cried even harder.
After a while, the crying stopped.
Clambering up from the table, rubbing her eyes, the Golden Lotus seemed to disbelieve the news she saw, "Boss, the Empire Daily mentioned that the wanderers seem to have been chased away?"
Hannah didn't react, but seemed unaccustomed to the face in the mirror, "You're blind."
Scratching her head awkwardly, Golden Lotus admitted, "Alright, they were not chased away exactly. The Empire Daily reported that the commander was attacked and felled by the wanderers and was unconscious. It didn't mention why the wanderers retreated."
The Golden Lotus sighed at this.
