Seeing him standing there without saying a word, Annie understood what he was thinking.
The reason why he had been delaying Howard was that he was afraid that something might happen there.
The current industry could only be decided by Howard's personality. However, before that, he still had to go to the Crimson Flame Stone mine and properly teach the Atlantean disciples.
However, the thing he wanted to figure out the most right now was what the bead he had obtained from the black market was for. Looking at the red light emitting from the bead, it didn't seem like something that could be refined.
After thinking for a while, he spoke to Annie.
"If you don't have anything else to do, you can leave. I will arrange things for Howard. I still have some things to deal with."
Annie understood what he meant and nodded at him.
Andrew found a quiet place in the Martial Arts Bureau and took out the bead from his interspatial ring.
