The atmosphere in the dimly lit room shifted from one of tension and uncertainty to a more relaxed and friendly tone after Mary's unexpected hug and subsequent lighthearted banter with Shi Tian.
As Shi Tian chuckled at Mary's playful request for a "consolation fee," the room seemed brighter, and the weight of the situation momentarily lifted.
Shi Tian himself knew what Mary did was to lift some of the stress and pressure he had been piling up.
Despite having the passive ability [Serene Calmness], it wasn't omnipotent enough to prevent him from being mentally stressed. He would remain calm, but just like Mary had stated, emotion and mentality are two different categories and people often mistake the two to be the same.
"So where are we going to use the drone as practice?" Shi Tian asked calmly.
Mary held a mysterious smile.
"Where do you think I wish to test the drone?" She then asked, not telling him the direct location.
