Adapt Part II

“I have to log out now. I’ve been online for several hours already, so I need to rest. I think there will also be a meeting held with others, too. It’s not good to make Ms. Lia wait for too long.”

Ace started making a face. He glanced at the little dragon which would soon become his responsibility, judging from what the bespectacled man was trying to imply.

“I’m going out there to help take the heat for you. Anyway, please come up with the plan while I’m away.”

“What about her?” Ace gestured toward the girl.

“Please take care of her in the meantime. Here, these are drinks and food that will keep her happy. And this is a dragon root. Put it under her nose in order to use it. Once she inhales it, it’ll immediately take effect.”
