Even though Gabriel didn't want to be in this intense situation, he knew he had no choice but to stand firm, no matter who he was going to offend.
He was also a bit surprised to know that Rem and Lishen were heads of their own departments, almost being on the same level as Eliana, yet it didn't matter.
Frowning, Elia opened her lips to speak, only to stop as she looked back. The door had opened suddenly in the back, signaling someone's arrival.
Even Gabriel glanced to the door, feeling somewhat relieved to see who had arrived. Just as things had become too intense for his comfort, Eliana was back.
"I've talked to him. He will be a little lax in the selection from now," Eliana told Rem and Lishen before joining up with Gabriel. "So, where were we?"
She gazed at Gabriel. "Ah, yeah. We were going to check your talent."
"Eliana, who is this kid?" Lishen inquired. "He has some great deal of arrogance, it seems."
