"Uh, yeah," Max replied blankly, completely taken aback by the woman's actions. She came in and just fired George like it was nothing.
"Haha, well, you are indeed a cute one." Sophia chuckled softly, seeing Max's surprised look.
"Cute?" Max murmured, his face heating up with embarrassment. He quickly turned his attention away from her, hoping to hide his flustered expression.
"What about them?" Max asked, quickly pointing toward the other young hunters, eager to change the subject and divert her attention.
Sophia smiled sweetly and said, "They will be taken care of when the new head of the branch arrives. It won't take long— a day at most."
Max glanced at her and shrugged. "Then we can leave if you have nothing to do."
Sophia nodded, then turned to Ryan and the bald-headed man. "You two will take care of the branch until the new head is assigned." She ordered, her tone authoritative.
They nodded in unison. "As you say, Miss Sophia."
