When silent, she emanated an icy aura that kept others at bay.
"Wayne Lane, brother," facing Wayne Lane, Emma's temper improved significantly, "Why have we stopped chasing? Could it be..."
Could it be that he did so intentionally, to let Hannah go?
Wayne Lane said indifferently, "If we continue forward, we'll be beyond the borderline."
Emma wasn't concerned, "So what?"
The borderline was merely symbolic; all the land beneath their feet belonged to the empire.
Wayne Lane didn't explain further, and ordered his men to pack up the map, "To the border base."
"Yes."
The soldiers quickly packed up their equipment.
The team was ready to turn back.
"Wayne Lane!" Emma stomped her foot in anger.
Her attendant was trembling beside her, afraid of being the target of her wrath.
But Wayne Lane didn't turn back and just walked away directly.
Even though Emma was dissatisfied, she didn't dare to chase after him alone and could only clench her teeth and follow to leave.
...
Borderline.
