Meanwhile...
The moment Tony and the two sisters stepped out of the administration hall, Elder Jing reached into her drawer and pulled out a small golden orb.
She held it in her palm, pressed two fingers against its surface, and sent a message.
The reply came almost instantly.
"Good job, Elder. The reward will be delivered to your room by tonight."
Elder Jing exhaled slowly and typed back. "I only hope for the Imperial family's favor on my Jing family."
"The Imperial family always takes care of its subjects. We expect only loyalty in return." The response carried a small icon beside the sender's name— an Imperial crown.
Elder Jing straightened in her chair. "Thank you, my prince." She paused, then added... "Please deal with the black suitcase as soon as possible. He even threatened to harm my granddaughter, Han Jing."
The crown icon appeared again without delay.
