Neo left the phoenix biome.

He stepped towards the center of the sanctuary.

After crossing a few different biomes, he came across a brown building.

He entered Derek's office.

"Has the phoenix finished its rebirth?"

"No, we failed. It's dead."

"Is this a prank…?"

Derek waited for Neo to say something.

When Neo didn't reply, his face morphed into an ugly grimace.

"Do you realize what you've done!? It was a phoenix!

"A phoenix!

"If you are incapable of completing the mission, how dare you take it!?"

"…"

Neo let Derek vent his anger.

"A phoenix is more expensive than your entire life!

"I'll make sure your team is penalized for this!

"Not just penalized, I'll make your life a living hell! You damned brats—"

"I'll be taking my leave. Please visit the mission hall if you have any complaints," Neo said.

Derek fumed.
