Kapitel 964: Quiro's Proposal

Eagle's team left just after dusk, and a lot of people saw them off—including the lord herself. 

"We will prepare the best we could," Raine said. "You don't have to worry too much about us. We're much more capable than you think."

Eagle's eyebrows rose, though his eyes ended up on the aborigine not far behind Raine. "I didn't doubt it," he said. "To be honest, I feel a bit smug that all our subsidiaries are strong in their own way." 

He patted Raine's shoulder (which amusingly made Quiro flinch a bit). "Good luck," he said. "Let's create an amazing region together." 

…

Raine remained outside the gates as she saw Eagle and the rest of them away. They didn't take anyone from Belluga this time though. 

As she stared, her mind floated elsewhere. She had to admit that she did feel quite a bit unnerved by what was to come. She had a habit of pinching the web of her palm, the space between the thumb and the index finger.
