Her tone carried a hint of suggestion:
"Lady Cassandra once mentioned that the Observation Station provides some... convenience policies for participants of the New Star Plan?"
"I don't care what deals are happening behind the scenes."
Uther directly interrupted her, the air around the shadow began to distort, emanating a suffocating pressure:

The old professor's voice turned more severe:
"Moreover, I must warn you, the Abyssal Observation Station is not a place for your theatrics. If you're here for some shameful task, I suggest you leave now."
This blatant hostility stirred a surge of anger within Uphemia.
As a genius of the Blood Moon Clan, she rarely faced such blunt rejection and humiliation.
Yet she quickly suppressed this emotion.
