"Principal." Director Xue hid the admiration in his eyes well, appearing strictly business-like.
"Is it over?"
"It's over."
"Any casualties?"
"None," Director Xue replied. "It was almost exactly as you predicted, with Chen Gu first and Bai Zhijin fourth."
The fish basket beside the principal was empty. He felt a tug on his line and hurriedly reeled it in, but it came up empty.
The principal was frustrated. "These fish are becoming more and more cunning!"
He flung his fishing rod aside and began speaking earnestly with Director Xue. "I sent Chen Gu over. Even if Ling Yitong were a pig, he wouldn't lose that battle, right?"
"The situation is very favorable. I estimate that the Subterraneans won't be able to stir up trouble for the next two hundred years."
The principal nodded in relief. "That's good. I allowed Chen Gu to upgrade to the Third Energy Level, and he helped me with the Maoshi Star issue. Quite a fair trade."
