In the afternoon, Guan Tong and Shangyuan Zi left the manor with their bags packed.
A car was already waiting at the main gate.
The car window rolled down, revealing Sikokun's face.
"Get in. I'll give you a ride."
The two got in the car, and Guan Tong said, "Thank you, Legion Commander Sikokun."
After Yelena stabilized the situation, she had officially appointed Sikokun as the Legion Commander of Sisiya. This was a position that could only be entrusted to her most trusted subordinate.
"I don't think I've properly thanked you yet," Sikokun said, her eyes meeting Guan Tong's in the rearview mirror. "You and Miss Shangyuan Zi were a great help to us this time. If you ever need my help with anything in the future, don't hesitate to ask."
"Okay." Guan Tong didn't stand on ceremony. He nodded and said, "I'll remember that."
Up in the manor's loft, Yelena watched the car carrying the two of them recede into the distance, a wave of melancholy washing over her.
