Sending Shadow Nine to handle the ambush by Battle Chief Mike was a well-considered decision.
Firstly, Mike had thoroughly scouted the area to ensure there were no Battle Chiefs or higher-ranking threats lying in ambush.
Secondly, Mike was always ready to charge up, boosting his combat readiness to the max, making it unlikely for a regular Battle Chief to take him down quickly.
Lastly, Mike's gaze drifted downwards, landing on the shadow at Jessica's feet. Within his field of vision, a girl with dark circles under her eyes yawned out of boredom, hidden in Jessica's shadow—[Shadow Ninety-Nine].
After becoming a Lone Wolf, Jessica, due to her S-tier talent, was assigned a [Guardian Shadow] to protect her growth.
Mike hadn't expected that [Guardian Shadow] would send a [Shadow]-level powerhouse to secretly guard Jessica. One of the minimum standards of the [Shadow] level is Battle Lord-level combat power.
