"That's enough, Leoz." Hobbs nodded, "In fact, your adherence to justice makes things easier for me."
"A bottom line is a bottom line; it shouldn't be bent for personal relationships."
Li Aozi shook Hobbs' hand:
"As for the specifics of the judgment, we'll have to see the judicial ruling—Lucite, I'm preparing to leave. Will you go with me, or stay with Hobbs to catch up?"
"I'll see you off, Li Aozi. It's been too long since I've met with Hobbs."
Lucite stood up, still noticeably shorter than Li Aozi. Li Aozi pressed his hand on Lucite's shoulder, and in the next moment, they leaped through time to appear outside the Star Harbor.
"...You've become strong, and more efficient too."
Lucite watched the lines of flights passing by and communicated in the vacuum using magic:
"Leoz, you're now taller, wealthier, and more beautiful. I don't know how to put it, but the distance between us is already..."
"Estranged?" Li Aozi said.
"You're no longer like us, dear brother."
