142. Departure (End of Frost-Plated Arc)

"Don't worry, I never intended to kill you."

Li Aozi smiled and casually walked up to her:

"How's your task going?"

Nimotin, trembling with fear, said, "Uh, you mean the wanted order? I was taken directly by the Law IV governor, I didn't have time to issue it."

"To Lir South Lake, huh... don't rush." Li Aozi dug into his pocket and tossed her a bank card. "This is a GTB savings card found from Abyss Humanitarian Relief. Daily withdrawal limit is 200,000 Derby, there's 3.4 million Derby in it. Use 2 million for the bounty, remember to use a public transfer."

"You... you're just going to trust me with this?" Nimotin was stunned and asked in surprise, "The governor only gave me a new leg, and you're giving me 3.4 million? Aren't you afraid I'll use it for myself?"

"I'm not worried." Li Aozi glanced at the still-cooling lava, calmly saying, "You're not too bright, but you cherish your life. You're the perfect choice."

"You—" Nimotin almost cursed but quickly softened, seeing the 3.4 million GTB savings card and recalling the massacre. At nearly two meters tall, Nimotin begrudgingly put the card away. She wouldn't dare mess with this card.

"That's all, you can go now."

Li Aozi waved them off, preparing to leave as if nothing had happened.

"Wait a minute!"

Li Aozi looked up, and Yavanna jumped in front of him from her cover. After a moment of thought, she bowed deeply.

"Thank you, Mr. Li Aozi." Yavanna said, "To Qiu Ran and Nomi, they are the true women of Frost-Plated."

"Hmm... you're saying this because of Snow?" Li Aozi wasn't surprised. After all, Chen Siqi had mentioned Snow's strong psychic abilities since birth, allowing her to communicate easily with others.

"Yes." Yavanna raised her head and said seriously, "Thank you very much for destroying Abyss Humanitarian Relief. I—no, countless people from Frost-Plated and the outer world are spared from becoming experimental subjects because of you. I'm thanking you on their behalf."

Li Aozi didn't have any ill feelings towards Yavanna. She had helped a lot, allowing Du Zexin and others to escape smoothly. Snow could grow up in Frost-Plated's civilized environment, more suitable than the outer world.

Only Zhou Liefeng might suffer a bit, but Law III and the Subway Brotherhood cooperated publicly. With Du Zexin's testimony, there shouldn't be much trouble.

Thinking of this, Li Aozi glanced at Yavanna—she was quite pretty, but still far from his level.

Putting aside her talents and being David Lin's daughter, Yavanna Huskisin was quite practical.

But her 【Medium】 ability was too weak. Li Aozi didn't see her as a good teammate.

Holding his waist, he joked:

"Spare me the verbal thanks, I'd prefer something more tangible."

"Tangible..." Yavanna was taken aback, a bit shy, "I don't have much money, just some compressed biscuits—"

"Stay alive."

Li Aozi said seriously:

"Your existence is very important to me. In the coming days, you can trust Du... Du Zexin. He's with David Lin, on your father's side. No matter what, ensure your safety. Stay alive, don't die in some corner where I can't find you."
