After dealing with both corpses, Shang flew back to the branch.

He got past the roots of the Yellow Sunbreaker and entered.

Trapper still sat in the middle of the branch, and when he saw White Ghost return without Ice Princess, he knew what that meant.

He felt a complex mix of emotions.

He was frustrated that he hadn't been the one to "dominate", "conquer", and "ruin" Ice Princess.

He was angry that Shang made it forever impossible for Trapper to realize this dream of his.

He felt glad that the arrogant bitch Ice Princess finally got what was coming to her.

But more than anything, he felt shocked about White Ghost's power.

White Ghost could kill Ice Princess on his own?

But then, he realized something.

It probably wasn't White Ghost that had killed her!

White Ghost had probably only watched her while a Sweeper took care of everything.

However, Trapper still became much more careful in front of Shang.

This was now the second time when someone from their branch had died after going on a mission with White Ghost.

By now, Trapper was sure that White Ghost was the Keeper's most-trusted Named Agent.

From now on, Trapper would make sure that he never showed even the slightest inkling of betrayal in front of White Ghost.

Shang stepped past Trapper without paying him any heed.

Then, he stopped in front of the Keeper.

"I completed the mission," Shang said. "Since Ice Princess is dead, I should get the entire reward."

The Keeper didn't immediately react.

After some seconds, she turned around, but instead of only turning her head a bit, her entire body actually turned to face Shang.
