Li Ruikang observed everyone's expressions, nodded slightly, and said, "The reason I called you back is exactly this. Duan Jie and Wang Hu are in charge of camp defense. We need to tighten defenses where necessary, but scouts must be sent out. The safety of nearly seventeen to eighteen thousand lives in the camp hinges on your efforts."
"As for tonight, Yaqian, you accompany me, and we'll see who exactly is causing trouble and to what end."
"Commander, you..."
Zhao Yaqian spoke up to interrupt, saying, "I possess Third Order abilities and also have a Talent, which makes me safer to be around. If they can assassinate Second-grade Monsters, they must have a number of Second-order Contractors. You shouldn't take the risk."
But Li Ruikang said, "That's why I'm asking you to protect me. I am the civil officer of South City, as you all know, and surely others are aware too. If I don't go, they probably won't agree."
