The moment she heard Fred's voice, Lu Xiao stopped struggling, letting him shield her as he quickly led her to a hidden corner.
She looked up at the man in the black cloak. Before she could speak, Fred said, "I'll get you out of here now. Don't worry, I've already contacted Admiral Clan. They're ready to receive you."
Lu Xiao wasn't particularly surprised. "Does Ares know about this?"
At a time like this, Lu Xiao's first thought wasn't for herself, but for Ares. An indescribable wave of jealousy surged through Fred, but he forced it down. "Admiral Clan will inform him."
"That's good." Lu Xiao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, then her expression turned serious. "Vice Admiral Fred, are you here because of the potion?"
He had already deduced that the Black Tower's motive for abducting Lu Xiao was likely tied to the news that she had healed an S-Class male, allowing him to recover and leave the S-Class Shelter.
