The group chatted and laughed as they ate meat, and Lu Yuan even brought out some drinks from his dimensional space.
After several rounds of drinks and everyone had eaten enough, Lu Yuan raised his glass and said to everyone, "Alright, let's have one last drink before I leave!"
Hei Zi, who was engrossed in eating meat, immediately spat out his food upon hearing Lu Yuan's words and looked at Lu Yuan, asking, "Holy crap! What do you mean by that? Are you... about to die from radiation?"
Seeing Hei Zi's anxious expression, Lu Yuan's face darkened: "Are you fucking hoping I die?! I mean, I got fired!"
"Huh? When did this happen? How did this involve you?"

"Alright, since the garrison doesn't want you anymore, come work for my Ministry of Finance. I'll pull some strings and get you a position! I'll protect you from now on!"

Hei Zi patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder with regret, but didn't say anything more.
