"Above all, that's what Elina said," the man in black added.

"What? That sounds like an annoying compliment. Elina is ridiculous, she's exaggerating too much," the little girl pouted, an expression of discontent on her face.

Hey, are you just throwing a fit because someone took your spot? That's too much... Although he wanted to retort like this, the man in black, because his leg was still not healed, didn't have the courage to act like a hero. No, even if his leg were well, he wouldn't dare. It would most likely be a one-hit kill, with no concept of getting injured.

Anyway, based on all these various and extremely complex reasons, the man in black came to the conclusion that it would be better not to say anything.

Yo, saved a lot of hospital fees again.

"Well, I don't know if what Elina said is true..." the man in black said nonchalantly.

"Of course it's not true. How could something like that be approved," the tone of the man in black suddenly became serious upon hearing this.

"Ling, you should know Elina's personality, right?"

"What do you mean?"

"In my opinion, besides that person, Elina has never praised someone like this before."

"So what?"

"So, since even Elina has given such a high praise, we should be careful. You know the saying 'Better safe than sorry,' right? Moreover, now that we have Elina's warning, we can't follow in her footsteps."

"Hmm... alright."

Although the little girl was somewhat unwilling, she ultimately accepted it and didn't act spoiled at the critical moments. From this point of view, she really didn't seem like a child.

Thinking of this, the man in black brought up another topic.

"And Ling, you joined us for a purpose, didn't you? After all, almost all of us have a purpose."

Upon hearing this, the expression of the little girl changed from before, and she resumed the mature tone of a middle-aged man. However, it was slightly different from the initial mature tone.

"Ah, of course."

She replied in a considerably calm manner.

"In that case, we absolutely cannot fail. Although there have been some minor issues at this stage, overall, the impact isn't significant. It's still within an acceptable range, as we had anticipated failure from the beginning."

Perhaps it was expected, upon hearing the man in black say this, the little girl didn't appear very surprised.

"So, what should we do? Should we continue with the original plan as expected?"

She straightforwardly asked.

"Ah, in general..."

"In general?"

"After all, it's impossible to strictly follow the original plan when unexpected changes have occurred."

The little girl nodded, agreeing with this.

"Well, that's true. So, where should we make some adjustments?"

"We don't need to rush into that for now; it'll be considered later."

"So you mean we can proceed with the current situation according to the original plan?"

"Ah, yes. That's how I've considered it after the plan failed."

Although the man in black's words were unclear, the little girl didn't ask further.

"Alright, I suppose. After all, you designed the entire plan."

But instead, she handed the matter over directly to the other party. Well, in this regard, she doesn't seem at all like a little girl.

So, is she really a child after all? Thinking about this, the man in black couldn't help but feel confused.

Well, let's not think about it for now.

Afterwards, the man in black asked with a calm tone.

"By the way, Ling, although I'm not quite sure about your past, you came here for that person, right?"
