Chapter 1478: Launching Citadel

"Send Citadel to Penny and focus on securing Fortress."

As soon as those words left Yugi's mouth, his team sprang into action. They were close to launching Citadel, so it would only take a few minutes to send it to Penny.

Meanwhile, Teddy sighed heavily and took a step back, watching them work in silence. It was a welcome change compared to the chaos back in the main hall.

"I'll tell Miss Penny you're on it," Teddy said, lowering his head.

With that, Teddy didn't waste any more time and left. He still needed to stay close to Penny in case he could assist with anything else. Even if it meant running a mile, he would do it as fast as he could.

As silence fell in the room, the person closest to Yugi couldn't help but cast him a sidelong glance.

"Sir, are you sure we're sending Citadel to Miss Penny?" he asked, followed by a colleague's comment. "I didn't know Miss Penny knew how to operate it. I thought she only knew the basics."

Yugi, keeping his focus on his computer, replied indifferently, "Why do you think this business would start if she didn't know what she was selling?"

"Well, the company started with security assistance," another person replied calmly, still working. "Branching out into cybersecurity seems like the natural next step."

"Besides, you're with her, sir. So cybersecurity shouldn't be a problem since someone knowledgeable in the area is already in the company."

Yugi remained silent, keeping his eyes on the screen. He understood their concerns. After all, Penny had focused primarily on administration as the head of Prime Group. The only time she interacted with the cybersecurity team was during system testing.

However, that didn't mean Yugi wouldn't keep her up to date. Why else did he often visit Penny's office if not to make sure she was well-informed? It wasn't like Yugi only idled during meetings with her.

Another long silence stretched between them before someone asked again.
