Humiliation

Lei Zhen was thoroughly impressed with the architectural style of the Neutral City, Yelan.

However, he didn't let it confuse his main objective of coming here.

"Howard, Candice, the two of you can book a hotel to stay in with the other crew mates. I have some other matters to do here, so you guys can enjoy yourself." Lei Zhen turned to them and instructed.

"Can I not join, Master?" Candice asked in a timid tone.

Ever since their dungeon expedition, they had rarely talked much besides the massage she gave him on the ship and now she was being instructed to leave him alone.

It was clear that she thought she was being sidelined or cast aside, almost as if she was no longer of use.

Showing her teary eyes, Lei Zhen remained expressionless.

"I'm not going to play around, but going to an important meeting that you probably wouldn't understand." He said calmly, seemingly trying to persuade her to do as instructed.
