It had been some time since Smither Gary returned to the backroom, and Lei Zhen was completely stunned by the sight of the three monster cores placed in front of him.
Although the monster cores don't have any sign of life, they were like a monster preying on him, almost as if it was screaming that he was going to fail.
'That hateful Smither Gary! He even locked the backroom to prevent me from arguing back about how unreasonable this is.' Lei Zhen cursed silently, feeling helpless by the situation.
Alas, other than feeling this moment of helplessness, there was nothing else he could do. The others were still outside, waiting for him to deliver the Bolten Artifact.
"Sigh, I might be skin alive if I can't deliver the Bolten Artifact to them." Lei Zhen smiled bitterly, feeling regretful about informing them of Smither Gary.
He should have kept this information to himself and investigated this first before divulging the topics to them.
Why did he break his own rules?
