Ji Qiuyue squinted her eyes, always ready for combat, aware of her own strength. No longer a fragile scientific researcher, she was more like a creature apart.
"Shut up."
Zhou Peng raised a hand, silencing the noisy crowd. He could sense Ji Qiuyue's extraordinary abilities, far from ordinary, and she exuded a peculiar aura.
"You all can leave."
There was no obstruction, instead they were allowed to leave freely.
Ji Qiuyue held Jin Qiu's hand, keeping a certain distance from Zhou Peng as they cautiously made their way to the door.
Zhou Peng quietly watched them, gesturing to his lackey, who approached with a cigarette and lit it for him. He took a deep drag, savoring the pure taste of the smoke, and felt quite refreshed.
He could feel Ji Qiuyue's power, which was not something that ordinary people could handle. Since he was not confident in dealing with her, there was no point in keeping them. Letting them leave was the right choice.
