Ultimately, under Ning Qi's reluctant lead, Gu Fan arrived at the command center of the Demon Refining Island Base, where a large screen displayed the process of exploring the depths beneath the volcano.
Gu Fan asked casually, "How many people did you send into the volcano interior?"
Ning Qi snorted dismissively, indicating she didn't want to answer and left it to someone else.
A squad captain-level official informed him that about twenty people had been sent this time, equipped with various advanced detection instruments.
"Hmm, not bad. Make sure they do a good job; there'll be significant rewards when they return," Gu Fan said, adopting the tone of someone giving directives to the X Legion, as if he were truly in charge here.
This annoyed Ning Qi. "Gu Fan, don't forget, you're still not the Great Demon King. You don't have any authority to decide rewards and penalties."
