Chapter 28: Setback (4)
“I don’t know,” the mailman shook his head. “But the more people involved, the greater the impact, and the higher-ups will take it seriously. The Silver Tower will provide maximum support. It’s better than us untrained brutes trying to figure things out ourselves. Do you think the higher-ups would dispatch a rescue team for just a few of you?”
Yu Hong remained silent for a moment before asking:
“Does Great luminous Stone work against the Evil Shadows?”
“They say it helps a bit. Some people have managed to escape with its aid, even with stones smaller than yours,” the mailman nodded.
By examining the surface of Yu Hong’s Great Luminous Stone, the mailman deduced that it was likely handcrafted, possibly by Yu Hong himself or someone he knew recently. This fueled his eagerness to engage further—motivated by the military alliance’s incentive program for recommending skilled individuals.
“Thanks for your concern, brother, but I’ve decided not to leave. Maybe if enough of us stay behind, the Evil Shadows won’t bother with this area anymore,” Yu Hong replied softly.
The mailman scrutinized Yu Hong’s expression but found no clues. After some more attempts to persuade him, he finally gave up.
“Well, whatever the case, this area isn’t safe. If you insist on staying, I wish you luck.”
“Thank you for your kind words. I wish you a safe journey and good fortune,” Yu Hong nodded.
