Zhao Qingya's assistant hurried over and grasped Li Tianen's arm. "This time, the mission has arrived," he declared earnestly. "The burden falls on you."
"You're Skyplume City's hope, their strongest warrior! This quest is yours!" He delivered a firm pat on Li Tianen's shoulder.
Li Tianen's lips twitched with displeasure. "What's wrong? Why the glum face?" the assistant pressed. "This time, the Demon Lord Abyss isn't messing around. They plan a full-scale attack, not a hit-and-run. You can't afford to be discouraged. We all depend on you to pull yourself together!"
Her gaze held Li Tianen expectantly. After all, he was their only hope. The enemy was formidable, demanding a fighter of equal caliber.
Taking a deep breath, Li Tianen forcefully shrugged off the assistant's grip. "Get lost!" he bellowed, storming away in a rage.
