Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow, 'Blue Cloud?'
Right after Cloud arrived in the Administrator Space, Adam was immediately replaced with a new Smart AI. It said Adam was under maintenance.
"Something is happening in the higher-ups."
Tang Shaoyang cracked into a smile. He did not like those people anyway, and he was happy knowing they were in trouble.
[Sir Cloud responded to your meeting request. Sir Cloud can't meet anyone for the time being for his mission. If he has the chance, he will come to meet you instead.]
"I think I can trust Cloud."
With the notification on Earth about the protection, he could prepare for the special mission with ease. He did not need to worry about the War of Worlds challenge or his enemy snuck into Earth anymore.
He replied to Zhang Mengyao, telling them what actually happened. Including his enemies that challenged the Earth into a War of Worlds.
After that, he sent a message to Ira to gather the teams. This was a special mission with high risks and also with high rewards. He expected that some of them would back down from the team. He trusted Ira to make the team.
Ira gathered the team in the private meeting room. The meeting that was usually used for the team before the mission.
Tang Shaoyang entered the meeting room and was surprised. The first surprise was that all his Admin Helpers were present. The second surprise was another team was in the meeting room, the Daenelis Clan.
He did not remember that they were being this close with the Snow Elves team. Ira did not inform him either about them.
Ira waved her hand toward Tang Shaoyang, gesturing to take the seat she had prepared for him.
Tang Shaoyang nodded, but his eyes were on the Daenelis Clan's captain, Khaya. Wondering why she was in the meeting room with his team.
"Before we proceed with our next mission, we have something to discuss. Khaya wants to join our team. If you agree with her, then she will disband her old team."
It was unexpected that Khaya wanted to join his team. With the current situation, it did not matter whether he had depth for his team or not. Since he would leave for a four-year-long mission. He did not need to worry that he would be declined from taking the mission because of his team.
However, he did not mind taking them in. At least, he would have more reliable team members compared to the two previous Junior Administrators. These snow elves were more reliable than Torben and Prodan in their previous mission.
The issue was their purpose, why Khaya wanted to disband her team and join his team. It was suspicious. In Particular, she was the Chief Administrator. Why would she want to join a team led by a Senior Administrator?
"Does she know about the mission?"
Ira shook her head, "I don't think they know about the mission."
Khaya frowned when the mission was repeatedly mentioned. It seemed like it was a rare mission for them to emphasize it a few times.
"Then why do you want to join my team, Khaya? I will make the decision based on your answer."
"I see potential in you, not in your team. From our last mission, you have proven yourself that you can bring us to a new height. If you succeed, that will help the Daenelis Clan's future in this Administrator Space. On top of that, you are less lecherous than the others."
Khaya believed in Tang Shaoyang's power. That was the main reason why she considered joining The Reds Team. The second was that Tang Shaoyang was quite a decent human being. At least, he did not look at the elves as s*x toys. She did not see him trying to do that in the previous, in fact, she was surprised that he showed no interest in her and her people.
The reason was not that convincing since he did not really know the Daenelis Clan's circumstances. On top of that, he could not see that desperation in Khaya for her to go this far to disband her own team.
Looking from her perspective, he could not see the benefit of joining his team unless she knew about the special mission. Or the other factions paid her to kill him. It was possible considering how many enemies he had.
Tang Shaoyang glanced toward Anne, the only Administrator in his team right now, "What do you think?"
Anne looked at Tang Shaoyang briefly before locking her gaze on Khaya. If she did not put their last mission into consideration, Khaya was definitely suspicious. But if she put Khaya's team performance, minus the elf jerk, Khaya's team addition would strengthen their team further.
"If our next mission is different, then I don't want her to join. She is too suspicious. The Chief Administrator disbands her team to join a team led by a Senior Administrator. However, We should take her because of our next mission. She would be a great help, at least, you will be less burdened with her in the team."
As usual, Anne spoke what was in her head. Knowing Tang Shaoyang, she was not worried about offending others for voicing her honest thoughts.
Tang Shaoyang then glanced at Ira, as well as his other Admin Helpers.
"I have the same opinion. We should take care of her, and we don't have a Junior Administrator to take the reward anyway."
The reward from the long mission was three promotions to Junior Administrator and five promotions to Admin Helper. He could not use the junior Administrator's promotion to those who received the Admin Helper's promotion reward.
"But we need to make sure they don't leave right after receiving the reward. We need to establish a contract and oath."
Khaya and her team were confused about what Tang Shaoyang talked about. About the next mission and the reward. But she could tell it was not a common mission with how serious they talked about it.
Tang Shaoyang nodded, "Then I will accept you to the team but with one more condition aside from the contract and oath."
He pointed at the male Snow Elf. The person he almost killed in the last mission, "I don't want him in my team."
