Am I qualified?
What a strange question.
Gauss heard Albena's inquiry and couldn't help but feel awkward.
Sis, can't you just have a bit more confidence?
In the end, Gauss didn't voice his thought.
He just nodded calmly, pretending to be composed.
"Of course, if you don't mind our team, Albena. Please take care of us in the upcoming tasks."
He reached out his hand.
"Great!" Albena quickly grabbed Gauss's hand with both of hers.
"Then, Lord Gauss, I hope we have a pleasant collaboration."
Gauss's hand was squeezed tightly.
He instinctively tried to withdraw it.
His first attempt ended in failure.
He couldn't pull it out.
He had to use more force.
Crack, crack, crack—
A strange crunching sound was heard.
"Hiss—"
As it turned out, in terms of strength, he was indeed no match for Albena.
He took a sharp breath.
"Albena, you see..."
He gave up struggling and spoke, while glancing down at their tightly clasped hands.
