"No, I shouldn't have accepted your request in the first place. Not only did you stop me from saving the kids to test your students, but you even created trouble for them."
The more Hena spoke, the angrier she became. Especially when she saw Olivia standing there, silent.
"..."
"Don't you have anything to say about this?"
"..."
To Hena's questions, Olivia didn't say a word in response. Instead, she turned her head to look out of the office window and uttered in a daze.
"... Hena, can you please take them to get their rewards? I want to be left alone for some time."
"What?! Don't evade the topic, Olivia! This time you went too far!"
Olivia brought her gaze back to Hena and pleaded in an emotionless voice. "Hena... Please."
Hena wanted to continue, but when she saw Olivia state at this moment, she knew that the memories of her past must have resurfaced in her mind. This had happened a lot of times before, so Hena was aware of it. However, this time, she felt very displeased with Olivia and didn't intend to let this matter go.
"All right! But this isn't over yet!"
"..." Olivia nodded with a blank expression.
Hena glanced at Luis and the others, and her expression became complicated. "Follow me." With those words, she pushed open the office door and headed out.
Luis took back the projection device, and without even giving a glance at Olivia, he followed behind Hena. So did Alicia and Diana.
Now the only person left inside the office was Olivia, who was gazing at the door with a lost expression and then shifted her gaze to the photo frame on her work desk.

On the other side, after coming out of Olivia's office, followed by the trio. Hena was silent for a few seconds, then took a deep breath to calm herself down.
When she controlled Muse's body before, she was the one who contacted the agents on the order of the traffickers' leader. When they couldn't reach them, it became a distress signal, and the ship sailed early because of it.
Hena, who was working undercover, had sent back that news to Olivia and had thought that she would have shared it with Luis and the others. Otherwise, how could they have caught up on time?
However, only now did she understand that what she had thought didn't happen. Rather, her willful friend hid that information from her students. If it weren't for Luis taking precautions, they would have never known about it.
She turned back to face the three students behind her and said with some embarrassment.
After hearing his words, Hena could only lower her head with a bitter expression. Because she knows what Luis said was right and no matter what she says, what Olivia did was indeed wrong, and she can't do anything about it.
"Let's put this matter aside for now and go get your rewards." She said, to which everyone agreed with a nod.
Seeing their indifferent expressions, Hena sighed.
'I just hope everything works out well. Sigh... Why did you have to do that Olivia? If you keep being like this, then you are going to ruin everything?'
She shook her head to stop thinking about it and increased her pace, moving towards the exchange centre. Though fast, her pace wasn't too fast, as Luis and the others could easily keep up with her.
***
"Welcome!"
Upon entering the exchange centre, a loud voice greeted them. When Luis heard the familiar voice, he glanced at the familiar old man walking in their direction with a businessman-like smile on his face, as his long-braided beard swung like a pendulum. Once again, catching Luis' attention.
Not only Luis, but Alicia and Diana also stared at his unique beard with interest.
"Hello! Mr. Zeth!" Hena greeted him with a polite smile. After all, Zeth was her elder and her senior at work.
"Oh, it's you, little Hena. What a pleasant surprise?" Zeth said with a smile.
Hina pouted, feeling embarrassed being called like that in front of students.
"I have told you many times before. Please don't call me that. I am not a kid anymore. I am already a mature woman."
"Yeah, yeah, you have grown up. Anyway, what are you here for?" Zeth said, waving his hands, expressing that he understood.
When she saw his actions, Hena knew he ignored her complaints once again. Though depressed, she could only let it be and explain the purpose of her visit.
"I came here to get some rewards for these students." She said while gesturing her hand behind.
Zeth had already noticed the three students following Hena. However, since he was conversing with Hena, he didn't observe them carefully. Now that he did, it turns out there was a familiar figure among them.
"Huh? Kid! You are here too!" Zeth said with a surprised expression and a wide smile hung up on his face.
"Hello! Uncle Zeth!" Luis greeted him with a smile while giving him a curt bow.
"Hahaha, so you did fulfil your promise to come here often. At that time, I thought you were just being perfunctory." Zeth let out a joyous laugh, looking very pleased by Luis' arrival.
The others looked at the two of them with surprised expressions. Alicia knew that Luis had visited the exchange centre before, but she had no idea that he had such a good relationship with Mr. Zeth. Whoever he is.
