Zephyr immediately responded, “The situation is grim. The chemical plant in District Twenty-One, the drug research center in District Twenty-Two, and the drug research center in District Twenty-Five have all suffered devastating explosions. There are numerous casualties, and the scene is chaotic. The fire caused by the explosion is intense, with thick smoke billowing, making rescue efforts difficult. It would be best to send people over as soon as possible to take control of the situation.”

Neera had reached a point where she could no longer afford to be scared out of her wits, nor did she have the time to analyze the situation.

She nodded without hesitation and said, “I’m going right now.”

However, Jean immediately stopped her. “No. You can’t go. It’s too dangerous there. I can’t let you.”

Neera was just about to retort when Adriana chimed in, “Exactly, Neera, you must listen. You can’t be reckless and put yourself in danger. Moreover, think about it. If you were to leave, who would take charge of the Gordon family? You are the head of the Gordon family. Without you, this place would be leaderless, which is a big risk.”

Neera’s mind was in a mess, unable to think of any other solutions. “But I have no choice but to go. Now that Uncle Chad and Shane have left, they are busy enough with just Districts Twenty-Three and Twenty-Four. They simply can’t be in two places at once. I can’t possibly let them run around even more, nor can I just leave things as they are.”

Right then, Jean uttered in a deep voice, “Aren’t there still two elders in the Gordon family? Let them go.”

Neera had forgotten about them, and she remembered only when he mentioned it.

Immediately after, she frowned and said, “No. One person can only lead a team to one area. We are still one person short.”

After a few seconds of silence, Jean said, “I’ll go.”
