After the delegation prepared to leave, Leader Shi looked one last time at Su Jiyai. His voice was low, filled with respect.
"You are young, but your mind is far sharper than any general or leader I have ever met. First you gave us a deal that looked like kindness, then you allowed us to believe we had freedom, and at the end, you offered something no one could resist. Truly, you plan each step. I am stunned by your talent."
Su Jiyai only smiled faintly. "I only plan for survival, Leader Shi. If humanity is to stand again, we cannot afford foolish mistakes."
Leader Shi bowed slightly before leaving. His soldiers followed him, whispering among themselves about what had just happened.
When the delegation was gone, Han Weilin turned to Su Jiyai with shining eyes.
"Jiyai! That was amazing. You were so cool, like one of those leaders in the old movies!"
Su Jiyai chuckled softly. "Don't tease me. I only did what was needed."
