"Gone?"
"Gone." The person who replied hesitated for a moment before looking at the elderly figure in the grand red robe in front of him, "Chief, with our Central State's mission failing this time at headquarters, it shouldn't implicate us, right?"
The red-robed elder had his thoughts interrupted and looked up, responding without annoyance, "What's with the panic? Headquarters made a grave error in their arrangement this time; naturally, it won't affect us."
Before the other could breathe a sigh of relief, the elder's voice became somewhat chilling, "But don't forget, even Ninth Rank experts were easily eradicated, which is enough to show how vicious and ruthless our adversary is. Such a person is living right among us... posing a far greater threat than anyone at headquarters."
Upon hearing this, the other's expression, which had just relaxed, turned deathly pale once again.
