Liu Wei blinked, caught off guard by his appearance followed the cryptic question. Sungjun, however, had anticipated such a check. He had created this code beforehand, a safeguard to ensure no one could impersonate him while he was away. Calmly, he replied, "Depends on what sketch the god used to draw in the sky."
As soon as the words were spoken, the man knelt, pressing his fist to the floor in a precise salute. "Welcome back, Boss."
Sungjun's lips curved into a small smile.
"At ease, Tempest."
He then gestured toward Liu Wei. "This is our guest. Show him the room."
Tempest's eyes flicked to Liu Wei, measuring him carefully. Sungjun's voice carried a quiet authority as he continued, "While you pledged loyalty to me, I don't simply take in anyone for their powers alone. I value character. But I also do not extend favors to strangers who have no reason to be involved in my affairs."
