"I believe this matter is bigger than you think." Anna added. She knew how much the destruction this matter would cause, so she couldn't afford to let the same thing happening again. She said, "You need to have the commander act on this matter personally. I'm afraid that it's going to be a big problem for the Demon Banner Army because we'll be finding this kind of mission appearing sooner or later."

Anna wanted to prevent it by using the commander's authority, but Shale shook his head and asked, "Do you have any proof that can back up your words?"
