"Thank you very much, Chief!" Rocky exclaimed, cupping his hands and bowing his head out of respect.
"Don't mention it. We have helped so little compared to what you have done for the human race." The chief of the Di Clan waved his hand. Then he turned to Colton and said, "Colton, you have full authority over this mission. Keep Basil and his companions safe!"
