Bab 568: Seraphina is Indeed Clever - I

Hands in her pockets, Seraphina returned to the lower city streets controlled by the Speckled Snake. Despite having dealt with the troublesome butcher, her expression remained far from relaxed.

"So much more to be done..."

The girl muttered with a frown, "I need to suppress the other gangs and find some temporary leaders... Sigh, if only Ansel and Marli were still by my side..."

At this thought, she slapped her cheeks forcefully, admonishing herself with anger:

"I'm relying on Ansel and Marli all the time—what a useless thing to do!"

Growth can sometimes be a drawn-out process, and other times it happens in an instant. 

Following Ansel, Seraphina learned meticulousness and prudence; she knew some problems were beyond her capacity—reconstruction after violence and destruction was an enigma to her. 

The old habit of blowing up the root of the problem and leaving without a second thought was utterly unacceptable.
