Now that the matter had been resolved, Neera had no intention of staying any longer. She turned to look at the

old man beside her.

“Mr. Grey, if there’s nothing else, shall we head back now? There’s still a lot of material we haven’t studied yet. We can’t afford any further delays.”

Eugene nodded without a word and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Zephyr and Cloud immediately followed.

The rest of them gave each other looks of utter confusion.

After coming out, Zephyr and Cloud quickly walked up to Neera and apologized in a low voice.

“Apologies, Mrs. Beauvort, for causing you trouble.”

Nonetheless, Neera didn’t blame them.

“It’s okay. You guys don’t need to take it to heart. It wasn’t your fault.”

Not only that, she also said, “Next time if you encounter such a situation, you can teach them a harsher lesson. There’s no need to show mercy.”

Cough… Cough…

Beside her, Eugene coughed twice and muttered, “Neera, I’m still here, you know. Am I invisible to you? How can you speak like that in front of me?”

Neera blinked her eyes and laughed, saying, “Hehe, of course not. I’m not worried because you have a sense of justice too, don’t you?”

After flattering Eugene, she instructed Zephyr and Cloud, “I’ve almost finished investigating everything that needs to be checked. We’ll head back tomorrow. Meet at the alliance entrance at eight in the morning.”
