The doors to the private training hall within Dragon Fang Base, slid open with a soft hiss.
Zu Li stood at the center, dressed in her usual fitted training attire, looking composed and authoritative as always. She stood near the center of the room with hands behind her back and a calm look.
"I was wondering how long it would take you to come back," a small smile crept onto her face as she spoke.
West smirked faintly while stepping in. "Couldn't keep you waiting too long, right?"
She turned now, locking her gaze onto his. "You've made a decision."
West exhaled slowly while walking further into the room until he stood a few steps away from her.
"Yeah," he paused briefly. "I'll handle my mother's case.".
