Jeremiah's hand, holding the water cup, paused slightly before she nonchalantly took another sip. The loyalty of the Seventy-Two Chambers' members to Yvette was so extreme that it was truly shocking

Yvette lifted her eyelids and glanced at the four hall leaders opposite her. Each of their faces was filled with seriousness and determination. She curled her lips slightly, her eyes remaining unchanged, and asked slowly, "Are you The four nodded. Each one was feared throughout the underworld and was then behaving like obedient students in front of Yvette, exuding not a hint of menace.

Ms. Zeller, we've made up our minds, they said in unison.

Yvette lightly drummed her fingers on the table and leaned back lazily. She said, "Stay until the end of the year-this time next year, I'll come and take you home."

The four were stunned upon hearing that. Did she just say she would take them home? For them, home was wherever Yvette

They were all orphans. When they met Yvette, they were utterly alone. Although older than her by a few years, they were guided by her in both training and life-a ten-year-old leading a group of older kids to where they stood that day. Their fondest memories weren't of the vibrant nightlife of the underworld but of the two years spent in the training camp. Those years, despite the grueling hardships, were the most meaningful of their lives.

Yvette was merciless in her training methods, yet those days were filled with purpose.

Despite life-and-death battles, not a single member was lost because, with her around, even death couldn't claim them. The four, in unison, shouted with years of tacit understanding, Ms. Zeller, we'll wait to go home with you!"

Looking at the excited four, Yvette replied in a low voice, "Go back and tell Braydon that I'll take you all next year."

She had no intention of keeping that a secret No one could stop her from taking her people. The four nodded, well aware of her personality. When she said she would take Seventy-Two Chambers, even Braydon would have to agree. Going back to notify Braydon was merely a formality. Yvette had always been that assertive.

Once the Seventy-Two Chambers members had left, Mario immediately entered. Upon seeing Yvette, he lowered his head, no longer his earlier talkative self, but rather nervous and uneasy

Having been in the southern region for so many years, Mario knew a thing or two. That a figure like Yvette would come to eat at his diner, behaving so courteously, was something he still found hard to believe.
