With the Star Hero Agency handling all of Ning's affairs, it was only through them that he learned that the schedule was set.
One week out of every month, Ning was to travel north to the Aullazire mines in the mountain ranges and help oversee the transport of the harvested ore. The government would handle the rest. His job was to make sure nothing went wrong from when the ore was harvested all the way to when the Aullazire reached a secure facility.
For this month, Ning was to start working on the second week. So when the time came, he left.
He didn't bother with a plane. Planes were slow.
He was faster as a bat, and he knew it. He shifted right from his house in the suburbs and flew out while it was still dark in the morning. The flight north took just over an hour—a journey that would've taken him half a day had he waited for the plane.
If Ning had decided to take the plane, he would've had to leave yesterday, so just gaining a single day more was already good enough.
