Chapter 171 – The Price of Growth

Ten days later, Su stood on a mountaintop and overlooked the scenery below him It was an enormous city that had part of its vitality restored The sky was still a dull gray, and the lighting within s were lit Vehicles would occasionally e of the city, there was a large area of brightly lit factories, and fully loaded trucks would drive in and out frohts, it was clear that this city used a tremendous amount of electricity

Once his line of sight passed over the city, he could see an ocean that stretched endlessly

The low hanging layer of clouds revealed a crack, revealing the sun behind theht scattered down Not only was the sea covered in specks of gold, the side of the city facing the sea was also dyed in a reddish-golden color However, behind the bright golden color was a deep shadow that was siht

At Su’s side was Persephone ore a shi+rt and a pencil skirt Her right hand carried an elaborate-looking canvas bag, and her left hand pointed towards the great sea that flickered with olden radiance “The headquarters of the Black Dragonriders is right there”

Following her finger, Su saw the old-fashi+oned seven floor building Even though it was rather far away, he could still vaguely see the building’s narrow and tall gate Due to the fact that its back was turned to the sunlight, the inside of the gate was dark and gloo to devour all those that dared to enter

Ta ta ta… The sharp and clear sound of high-heeled shoes striking against the ground echoed in front of the Black Dragonriders general headquarters building that already had several hundred years of history The bodies of the two guards at the gate ihtened their bodies that were already quite straight a bit more When this type of sound could be heard, it could only

Sure enough, Persephone appeared like a specter She clih the Black Dragonriders’ gates with an upright and unafraid attitude As soon as she appeared, the two guards iave her the most accurate military salute When they looked at Persephone, their eyes were full of respect, excitement, as well as a bit of hidden desire

Persephone’s gait was elegant and graceful, and on her face was a coance

The people going in and out of the lobby all stoppedand looked at Persephone who had just returned froonriders that happened to be standing in front of her path hurriedly moved to the side

During the few days that Persephone left, practically everyone was trying to guess at what kind of onriders’ youngest, , and at the saeneral to personally depart Who was that strange individual standing behind her?

Su’s expression only revealed indifference His gaze only rested on Persephone’s waist that see attention to either side of him at all His pace completely matched Persephone’s, as if he had become one with her The distance between the tas always 15 meters, never a bit more or a bit less

Countless eyes fell upon Su’s body Jealousy, hatred, curiosity, passion, disdain, greed, amazement, puzzlement, and even fervent desire; these eyes seeative emotions as they pierced at Su

Many men’s eyes landed on the wrapped up Barrett, and their eyes revealed astonishonriders that greatly prefered the popularized intelligent firearms of the new era, olden firearms had practically become extinct Those that dared to use these types of weapons were all insufferably arrogant and ferocious individuals Within the Black Dragonriders, Magic and Combat Domains seemed to be the most popular Even if one majored in the Mental Domain, feould make firearms their primary focus, because after all, the difference between low level weapon proficiency and electronic capabilities was negligible

There were quite a feo them by their clothes, most of the positions, and there were feonriders too, of course Their eyes all seemed to rest on Su’s face and occasionally look at Persephone There were a feho couldn’t conceal their own jealousy and envy

Su ed pace under countless pairs of eyes and followed Persephone up to the sixth floor

After entering the Black Dragonriders’ headquarters, Su’s face was no longer covered in bandages

The Persephone that returned to the Black Dragonriders possessed clear power and grandeur Wherever she went, the sharp and clear high heels would resound to that place However, Su attracted even more attention than she did

As soon as Persephone reached the sixth floor, the handsome male adjutant received news and opened her office door for her

When Persephone sat down in the office, Su silently stood next to the office table, causing a flash of shock to run past the adjutant’s eyes This adjutant was extre his co his positionhimself in front of Persephone He restrained hiaze to land on Su’s body He placed the docu in front of Persephone
