Was Amalia using the Stormforge Crystal Vein to divert their attention, pretending not to complete the task, and tricking them into leaving the Cinders Herbage and Brimstone area, only to come back for it on the last day?
Was that what was happening?
...
Exiting the Disaster Zone, Amalia glanced back at the crowd who still arguing with the Rodriguez family and then at the young woman who led the confrontation.
She sent a message to Zanilia Zhao.
If it weren't for Rafael Rodriguez's words, she wouldn't have known that this young woman was actually a relative of the Zhao family.
This murky situation was bound to get even murkier.
The Zhao family.
Zanilia Zhao was talking to her father when she noticed the message that had just arrived on her communicator, and she couldn't help but be surprised.
"What's wrong?" the head of the Zhao family noticed her daughter's reaction.
