"Sir, shall we just let it be?"
In an inconspicuous direction.
Two figures hidden amidst the dense verdure, the chilling moonlight seeping through the gaps in leaves, cast mottled patches of light on their bodies as it fell upon them.
It was always tinged with a touch of desolation.
Half of Lou Luchuan's body was melted into the boundless darkness, the faint glow in his pale pupils barely visible. His thick, long eyelashes subtly trembled, and the shadows on his profile hinted at the bobbing of his Adam's apple.
"Turn off the infrared and all attack systems."
He didn't speak until several seconds later.
Such mild words masked his raw pain, hidden where no one else could see.
The man behind him obviously hesitated.
"Sir, if everything is shut down, those imprisoned over there will find out. If anything should happen..."
"Just do as I say."
Lou Luchuan lowered his eyes, his lips looked even paler.
"...Yes."
Whatever she desired."
He would provide.
