Once we reached the place, Amanda stepped in to guide Hai-Min inside. She promised to update May, so there was no need for me to get out of the van.
The ride back to the mansion felt slow. Streetlights passed by the window, each one pulling my thoughts in a different direction. My body was powerful but my mind was drained already.
What I wanted most was the comfort of a modern city. Bright signs. Hot meals. Cold drinks.
Entertainment that could pull my thoughts away from all that happened. Anything that could keep my mind busy and give me a break from the mess of the past days.
Then after my reset, the next plan would start. From the outside, it might look like I was wasting time, but that wasn't true.
I was still human, not some character who jumped from one disaster to another like a masochist . If avoiding trouble worked, that path would be taken every single time.
