If his rescue attempt failed, or if he took too long and was presumed trapped, other Grandmasters would step in.
Xu Wuyi finished reading the dossier, turned off the holographic screen, and leaned back in his chair. His mind was still processing the data, analyzing the variables, and weighing the upcoming challenge. Taking a deep breath, he stood up and walked out of the room.
In the living room, his parents were still watching television. Seeing her son come out, Mrs. Xu turned her head and asked, "What is it?"
Xu Wuyi walked over to the sofa and sat down beside his mother.
"Mom, Dad, I have to head out tomorrow."
Mrs. Xu froze for a moment. "Where to?"
"There's a mission," Xu Wuyi said. "Something I need to handle."
Mrs. Xu fell silent for a few seconds before nodding.
"Go ahead," she said softly but firmly. "Stay safe."
Father Xu chimed in from the side, "When will you be back?"
Xu Wuyi shook his head. "I'm not sure yet. It depends on the situation."
