The other cities were perfectly safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other three life-sustaining planets had not experienced any beast tides either, remaining exceptionally peaceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically speaking, as long as they abandoned this place, everyone could survive just fine. Moreover, the native population of Molcasar Star was not large, so completely migrating to other planets was entirely feasible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Molcasar civilization simply refused to give up this location. They offered various explanations to their people, citing homeworld sentiment and the idiom that if the lips are gone, the teeth will feel cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This rhetoric was quite effective at first, but as time dragged on, the anti-war sentiment among the Molcasar people grew increasingly intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Archon Mole had not been fighting alongside them on the front lines, a rebellion might have broken out long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the camp headquarters...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The selling price of a Thunder Beast is around fifty million Star Coins. I will transfer it to you when the time comes,\" Mole said, making no attempt to embezzle Li Yu's spoils of war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only fifty million?\" Li Yu appeared somewhat surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even accounting for the costs of various materials needed for synthesis, there was at least a billion in profit to be made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the Molcasar civilization could only sell it for a mere fifty million Star Coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh... There is nothing we can do.\" Mole sighed. The sorrow of a small civilization was constantly apparent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he not know the true value of a Thunder Beast? But they lacked gene extraction devices and synthesis equipment. A Gene Chain was not something that could be researched so simply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small civilization could not even compare to a minor Gene Chain workshop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ones being exploited were always those at the bottom, whether they were individual lifeforms or collective civilizations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mole looked deeply troubled. \"Two Thunder Beasts appeared at once. I wonder if the higher-level star beast predicted by the strategy department will show up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A higher-level star beast? A B-Tier Lifeform?\" Hunter furrowed his brows and glanced at Mole. \"Under normal ecological conditions on an ordinary life-sustaining planet, it is extremely difficult for a B-Tier Lifeform to be born.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Molcasar Star seems to be just an ordinary life-sustaining planet. It lacks extreme environments or special energy deposits...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mole remained silent. Everyone knew he was hiding something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunter sighed. Mole was an Archon, after all. Matters concerning the entire civilization were not things he could casually blurt out in a moment of impulse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Governor General!\" The Mechanical Door opened, and Kelly suddenly strode into the headquarters. She had access privileges here and did not need to be announced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her brows were tightly knitted, and she appeared quite anxious. \"The strategy department detected a high-energy reaction underground. According to their estimates... it should be a star beast ranked above the Thunder Beasts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What!?\" Mole abruptly stood up, his expression extremely ugly. \"Where is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Its position is very deep, and it is slowly ascending. It just entered the geological layer detectable by the strategy department. If its speed remains constant, they estimate it will take another half a month to emerge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mole breathed a sudden sigh of relief. \"Thank goodness... Thank goodness...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it appeared right now, the camp, having just endured a fierce battle, would likely collapse immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A B-Tier Lifeform was already considered high and mighty in the interstellar realm. Someone like Dark Star could pull together an elite fleet and run rampant through the No Man's Land System.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, his personal strength was definitely not something an ordinary B-Tier Lifeform could compare to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the leaders of many large-scale marauder groups were merely B-Tier Lifeforms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starlight General was also just a B-Tier Lifeform. Upon reaching this stage, one could hardly find an opponent on a planet's surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was on an entirely different level of existence from a C-Tier Lifeform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waving his hand, he dismissed Kelly. Before leaving, Kelly shot Li Yu a meaningful smile, pushing Mole's mentality to the brink of exploding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Duo's crimson pupils darkened, her face completely expressionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A B-Tier Lifeform... Are you sure you are not going to ask for help?\" Hunter looked at Mole. Just what kind of secret was making him hold out so stubbornly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was hoping...\" Mole looked at Li Yu, but before he could finish, Li Yu interrupted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not interested. Can't beat it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I did not ask you to fight a B-Tier Lifeform head-on...\" Mole snapped in annoyance. \"I just want you to help distract it. Buying us half a month's time is enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there a difference?\" Li Yu shook his head, adding, \"My intervention just now already counts as payment for taking shelter here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you are planning to threaten me, please choose your words carefully.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mole choked on his words for a moment. \"I have not even finished speaking. Who said anything about threatening you? We will pay the appropriate compensation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five billion Star Coins.\" Li Yu immediately threw out a price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mole was rendered completely speechless. \"With five billion, we could artificially engineer a B-Tier Lifeform ourselves!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then forget it.\" Li Yu lacked interest. Judging by the standard of the Thunder Beasts, this B-Tier Lifeform was likely also exceptionally powerful and incredibly difficult to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You will not even tell us what you are hiding. Even if we wanted to help, there is nothing we can do,\" Hunter chimed in, sounding somewhat helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu glanced at Hunter. This statement was partly meant for Li Yu—a signal to wait and see if Mole could offer a better price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also directed at Mole, urging him to raise the bid quickly to keep hope alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, Li Yu's combat prowess was in a league of its own, far surpassing the native forces of Molcasar. If Molcasar fully cooperated, they might just be able to hold their ground against a B-Tier Lifeform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mole remained silent for a long time before finally gritting his teeth. He first offered a bitter smile to Hunter. \"Boss Ze, it was not that I did not trust you earlier. It is truly because this matter is bigger than myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know, just spit it out already,\" Hunter urged impatiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Follow me.\" Mole scanned the room, referring only to Hunter and Li Yu. Mo Duo and Li Ping were excluded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The upcoming revelation was clearly the highest level of classified information. He was only willing to disclose it to Li Yu out of necessity. As for bringing Hunter along, it was likely due to Mole's personal bond with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Duo and Li Ping, however, were total outsiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Duo walked out with a blank expression, while Li Ping showed no particular reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the two had left, Mole cautiously pulled out a Smart Terminal. After passing through several layers of verification, the metal floor of the headquarters emitted a low hum, and a circular, silvery-white elevator rose from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please,\" Mole prompted. Hunter and Li Yu exchanged curious glances before stepping into the elevator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it activated, Li Yu felt a sense of weightlessness. The elevator descended underground at an incredible speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you people digging up down here?\" Hunter guessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You will see in a moment.\" Mole deliberately kept the suspense, making Hunter grit his teeth in irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whirrr-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elevator continued its descent, the sound of surging electromagnetic power clearly audible. Plunging to an unknown depth, it finally glided to a slow halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the doors parted, a colossal cavern appeared before Li Yu and Hunter. Surrounded by massive floodlights, the entire cave was illuminated as brightly as day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staff members dressed in white coats hurried about, clutching Tablets and swiping across the screens from time to time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most eye-catching object was a giant crystal glowing with an eerie purple light in the center of the cavern. It was shaped like a heart, embedded into the rocky wall, with stone veins spreading out around it like blood vessels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Numerous precision instruments surrounded this heart-like purple crystal. However, no excavation was taking place; the workers were merely carefully clearing the surrounding area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is...?\" Hunter froze instantly, his expression shifting drastically as he pointed at the purple ore in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The object was not massive—roughly the size of a millstone. The faint purple glow radiating from it looked remarkably magnificent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is right... It is an Amethyst Core. After an adult Amethyst Beast dies, its heart must undergo tens of thousands of years of weathering before it can potentially form an Amethyst Core,\" Mole explained with a touch of emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu stared at the Amethyst Core. His clothing squirmed slightly, seemingly radiating a sense of longing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, the Titan Symbiotic Armor requires the Amethyst Core. Devouring it will allow the Titan Symbiotic Armor to evolve...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claptrap's voice rang in his ear. Li Yu's expression twitched slightly, but he remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This kind of Amethyst Core is incredibly rare across the entire interstellar space. It is a crucial material for forging many A-rank technological creations,\" Hunter listed its merits as if enumerating his family's treasures, clearly very knowledgeable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rumor has it that the Amethyst Civilization originally discovered an Amethyst Core, which kicked off their path to prominence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly...\" Mole nodded, his gaze locked onto the Amethyst Core. It was the future of Molcasar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Amethyst Civilization was lucky enough to secure funding from the Star Glory Empire. They unlocked a series of amethyst-based technologies and laid the groundwork for the Star Glory Empire's advancement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But as a vassal to the Amethyst Civilization, if they discover we have an Amethyst Core, there will be only one outcome for us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Mole did not explicitly state it, everyone understood. Being squeezed dry and devoured whole by the Amethyst Civilization was Molcasar's only possible fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realization suddenly dawned on Hunter. \"No wonder those star beasts have been attacking this place so furiously. They must have spawned from the corpse of that Amethyst Beast. The Amethyst Core poses a fatal temptation to them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An A-rank Lifeform possessed immense intrinsic value. Its corpse had merged with Molcasar Star, giving rise to many unique star beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this particular star beast had died tens of thousands of years ago. The creatures currently attacking outside were likely its descendants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is correct... Ever since we started excavating this Amethyst Core, massive hordes of star beasts inexplicably swarmed out from underground.\" Mole nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You intend to use this to hire me?\" Li Yu finally spoke up, a probing tone in his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mole hesitated repeatedly before gritting his teeth. \"I can give you ten grams...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ten grams?\" Li Yu stared at him with dead-fish eyes, pointing at the Amethyst Core. \"You have such a massive piece, yet you are only offering me ten grams? Do you think that is appropriate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mole retorted indignantly, \"The value of an Amethyst Core is extraordinary. A single gram of the raw core can sell for a hundred million Star Coins, and there is high demand but no supply!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Amethyst Civilization's own core had been almost entirely depleted long ago. The amethyst technology they relied on to survive was solely sustained by artificially cultivated secondary amethysts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder Mole was holding out so desperately. Anyone would cling to a piece this large with their life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then make it fifty grams,\" Li Yu casually demanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eleven grams at most.\" Mole shook his head, his tone resolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forty grams then... That is my absolute bottom line.\" Li Yu's stance was equally firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mole furrowed his brows. \"Twelve grams. You are putting me in a very difficult position...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu feigned hesitation. \"Thirty grams. The risk is tremendous, you know...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Final offer, fifteen grams!\" Mole stated decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deal!\" Li Yu nodded in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mole continued, \"It will take a month to fully extract this thing. Without using specialized methods, the entire piece will fracture. Because of this, we absolutely must hold the line against that B-Tier Lifeform.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem.\" Li Yu nodded. It was just a B-Tier Lifeform, after all. He pondered for a moment before changing the subject. \"Do you have any captured Black Lizards?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We do, but those are just lizards. What do you want them for?\" Mole asked suspiciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just for research...\" Li Yu replied evasively, refusing to elaborate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As enemies of Molcasar, the Black Lizards had naturally been dissected and studied countless times in search of weaknesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These creatures favored darkness and feared light and heat. Their eyes could not tolerate intense illumination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon leaving the underground facility, Mole ordered the research department to deliver a Black Lizard to Li Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Lizard was trapped within a metal cage, its limbs bound by heavy iron chains. Its eyes were covered with a blindfold to prevent them from being scorched by bright lights, and its jaws were clamped shut with metal restraints so it could not injure anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pry its mouth open. A forty-five-degree angle will suffice,\" Li Yu instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir!\" The soldier transporting the Black Lizard replied with deep reverence. Being able to interact with Your Excellency God Slayer at such close quarters was a tremendous honor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier pressed a button, and the Black Lizard's mouth was forcefully pried open, revealing rows of densely packed teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu dismissed the soldier. They were currently in an Ammunition Depot that had been completely emptied and reassigned for Li Yu's personal use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunter watched with curiosity. \"What are you trying to do? The Molcasar researchers have already thoroughly documented everything there is to know about the Black Lizards. If you wanted data, you could have just asked for it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu did not answer. A massive, infant-sized brown egg materialized in his hands. The eerie silhouette of a writhing insect could be vaguely seen moving inside it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell is that?\" Hunter jumped in fright and took a step back, unable to stop himself from recalling the terrifying virus Li Yu had engineered in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where on earth did this guy keep finding all these twisted, abnormal things?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something incredibly cute.\" Li Yu placed the Xenomorph Egg into the cage. The Black Lizard seemed to sense something amiss and instinctively grew restless, letting out strings of panicked hisses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xenomorph Egg quivered slightly. As Hunter felt his scalp go numb with dread, the top of the egg peeled apart like a blossoming flower, and a Facehugger crawled out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Facehugger first turned its head toward Li Yu. The abalone-shaped orifice on its abdomen pulsed repeatedly, as if paying its respects to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunter was horror-struck, goosebumps erupting all over his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu gave a nod of approval. Only then did the Facehugger turn back around. With a powerful leap, it lunged straight onto the Black Lizard's gaping mouth. Immediately after, something shot out from the creature's abalone-shaped orifice directly down the beast's throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, the parasite's body fell limply to the ground, quickly stiffening into a rigid husk, completely motionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Lizard thrashed in absolute terror, clearly feeling something writhing inside its body. Its beastly instincts drove it into a frenzy of panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, now we wait...\" Li Yu said effortlessly, as if he had just finished a trivial chore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait for what?\" Hunter was still utterly bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait to solve Molcasar's problem, of course...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.........\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, back in the headquarters, Mole was participating in a video conference. Several impeccably dressed elders on the screen were shouting reprimands at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could you decide the distribution of the core on your own authority!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should have consulted with us before making a decision!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Consult with you?\" Mole scoffed coldly. \"Can any of you propose a solution to deal with a B-Tier Lifeform right now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figures on the screen fell silent. The elder on the far left spoke in a slow, measured tone, \"Mole, what we mean is, what if they leak this secret?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If word gets out, all our previous efforts will have been in vain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others quickly chimed in with their agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible!\" Mole declared decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just because they are your friends? Let me tell you, 'friend' is the most worthless word in the galaxy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not...\" Mole snorted coldly, making no attempt to explain further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu was currently being hunted by the Star Glory Empire. He had absolutely no reason or spare time to leak Molcasar's secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A relationship built on mutual leverage was incredibly tight-knit. Neither side wanted to see the other dragged down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Compared to them, I am far more terrified of all of you!\" Mole threw out one final sentence before abruptly cutting the connection. He frowned, his eyes flickering with uncertainty as if he was finally coming to a major decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the headquarters, Mo Duo and Kelly appeared to be talking. More accurately, Kelly had approached Mo Duo, who was staring blankly into space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kelly smiled brightly. \"I thought you were a subordinate of Your Excellency God Slayer. So you two are actually friends...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Duo maintained an indifferent expression. \"The one next to him is the subordinate. I have known your so-called God Slayer since he was a total deadbeat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you two are old friends. How enviable...\" Kelly sighed wistfully, before adding with a pointed hint, \"Then I suppose I will not be able to just be ordinary friends with Your Excellency God Slayer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they could not be ordinary friends, then what did she want to be? Comrades with benefits?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Duo's crimson eyes narrowed slightly, clashing with Kelly's golden pupils and throwing invisible sparks through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Li Yu!\" Li Ping called out loudly from the side. Li Yu, accompanied by a deeply traumatized Hunter, had just walked out of the Warehouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kelly and Mo Duo simultaneously tore their gazes away from each other and looked toward Li Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Having a chat, are we...\" Li Yu greeted casually. Kelly had changed her clothes. The everyday attire in Molcasar was quite revealing; her slender legs were left completely exposed, and her short shorts barely covered her curves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a soft laugh. \"Your Excellency God Slayer, you still have not answered my earlier question.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu glanced at her and shook his head. \"Let's put that on hold for now. I am worried about angering your dad. If he ends up backing out of our deal, it would be terribly inconvenient for me to kill him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kelly was rendered speechless. \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corners of Mo Duo's mouth curled up slightly, though she quickly concealed her amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all this is over, if there is still a chance, let's grab a drink,\" Li Yu swiftly added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Duo's eyes instantly narrowed. Her expression darkened, radiating an aura that screamed 'stay away.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bright smile immediately bloomed across Kelly's face. \"Then I will be waiting...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of her hand, Kelly strutted away under the heated gazes of the surrounding soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunter's body stiffened. A faint glint of red flashed deep within his pupils as he asked mechanically, \"Have you taken a liking to that chick?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is that possible?\" Li Yu immediately shook his head. \"Relationships need to be nurtured. I am a very pure and innocent guy, you know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I absolutely cannot handle such overwhelming and surging passion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why did you agree to grab drinks with her?\" Hunter asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu shot Hunter a glance and smiled slightly. \"It is just drinks, no big deal. You can tag along when the time comes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Duo suddenly felt a wave of fluster, inexplicably sensing that this comment was not directed at Hunter, but rather at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Hunter snapped out of his daze.
