Wu Shutong shared, “My grandson wanted her to experience the world and gain valuable insights. I assumed it was a mere formality, but I never anticipated encountering such a situation…”


    Jadiel paced the room, clearly agitated. He eximed, “You… you are misunderstanding everything! Song Ruyu possesses extraordinary talent, a rarity among millions. The Lord has long sought to bring her under his wing for training, but due to circumstances, he couldn’t attend to her for some time. That’s why he asked you to temporarily ce her in the Governor’s Mansion. How could you possibly send her away?!”


    “I…” Wu Shutong stammered, momentarily at a loss for words.


    His initial decision to arrange for Song Ruyu to stay with Duke Mining stemmed from a desire to get closer to her and treat her like a cherished niece. He thought she must be feeling stifled in the Governor’s Mansion, where her deputy status left her without the respect she deserved. So, he took the initiative to set up a trip for her to Moro, believing it would be a refreshing break.


    Although it was framed as a mission, the true intention was simply to allow her a holiday and an opportunity to feel important.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Given her capabilities, he assumed she would handle such a task in Moro with ease. However, he never anticipated the disaster that would ur.


    It felt akin to a boss wanting to reward a top salesperson with an all-expenses-paid trip, only for it to end in a ne crash. That realization filled him with regret.


    Yet, dwelling on regret was futile now. The event had already transpired; all he could do was consult the British Lord for guidance. If the Lord chose to punish him, he would ept the consequences swiftly, hoping to avoid further penalties for dys. If the Lord had other orders, he would execute them promptly, perhaps offering a chance to rectify his mistakes.<fn9535> The rightful source is find?novel</fn9535>


    Jadiel, too, was feeling uneasy. He whispered, “Shutong, Lord Ying has great confidence in the ns for Nigeria. She has been eagerly awaiting news of the three elders’ sess. If she discovers that our strategies have beenpromised by the enemy, and that we’ve lost the talented Song Ruyu, she will be absolutely furious…”


    Panic surged through Wu Shutong as he quickly asked, “What should I do, Grandpa… I… I truly can’t manage this! I’ve been in Nigeria for days, afraid to leave, but you know the limitations of my subordinates. There aren’t many skilled cultivators among them, and their abilities are quite limited. The mysterious man is formidable, and the four earls are powerless against him. I don’t have anyone capable of confronting him. No matter which base he targets outside Nigeria, the oue will be the same…”


    Jadiel pressed, “Your garrison should have strictly adhered to the confidentiality protocols and avoided any leaks. How did the enemy find out? This alone could be grounds for serious negligence!”


    Wu Shutong pleaded, “Grandpa, please… this isn’t my fault… That person has incredible powers. No matter how cautious I am, I can’t conceal anything from him!”


    In his panic, he added, “By the way, Grandpa… what if the enemy was aware that Nigeria was a trap all along? Could they have been monitoring us? The three elders are here now. If they are targeted, then… wouldn’t that lead to endlessplications?!”


    Wu Shutong’s heart raced, and he eximed, “This is bad! We might be in apletely passive position! Wait here; I need to speak with the Lord of Ennd!”
