Bab 53: Chapter 49: Mission

Wang Xu stood by the window, gazing into the distance with his hands clasped behind his back. It was only when he heard several people entering the room that he turned around.

"Line up!" Wang Xu ordered.

At his command, the group didn't panic but quickly formed a line, which visibly pleased Wang Xu.

"Captain, step forward and prepare to accept the assignment," Wang Xu said.

Tangmo blinked, somewhat taken aback, before Luo'er lightly tapped her and jolted her back to reality. She hastily stood up, looking at Wang Xu with some apprehension.
