857. Idealist

Shuangxin never imagined that she would see Lu Ban again.

She had thought that Lu Ban had perished in that insect swarm catastrophe; after all, surviving such an onslaught seemed inconceivable.

But now, there he was, alive and well, standing right in front of her!

Incredible!

"Mr. Lu..."

During her moment of reflection, Shuangxin quickly considered a possibility.

This must be an impostor!

It could be someone from another city-state, masquerading as Lu Ban to gain her trust, attempting to breach Utopia from within.

But then she reconsidered, only the three of them knew of Lu Ban's existence. She had only spoken of him to the highest echelons of the Senate, including the Saint. Even if they knew the name Lu Ban, they couldn't possibly know what he looked like.

"It seems you all are doing quite well."

Unaware of Shuangxin's thoughts, Lu Ban surveyed their surroundings.

"I thought you might have also fallen victim to the insect swarm. It appears you've managed to escape."
