"General Okaz, I've come to retrieve the item I entrusted to your care."
Shen Yan made clear the purpose of her visit; she wasn't there to catch up.
General Okaz's expression turned serious, and he signaled discreetly to the people beside him. Everyone, except his deputy and secretary, exited the room.
"Miss Shen, I've moved that item elsewhere for safekeeping. I was worried it might attract the attention of those nearby, so I stored it in a unique way."
"You only need to tell me the location, nothing else."
"This..." Okaz hesitated, "I've placed it inside an ancient tomb."
Shen Yan frowned, "Whose tomb?"
"I thought by leveraging the power of that family, I could ensure the safety of the item you entrusted to me. But just half a year after it was stored, a major collapse occurred at the site. The location might be difficult to find, or the item... might already be destroyed." As he said this, Okaz cautiously observed Shen Yan's expression.
