"Mai, I'm not running you down, but it will be very hard for you to kill Herzog," the Boss explained. "When I say kill Herzog here, I don't mean for you to actually kill my old friend. Instead, I mean you must fight him with the absolute resolve to 'kill Herzog.' You need to go all out, so that Herzog will temporarily shift his target from Lu Mingfei to you. Only then will Lu Mingfei have a chance to survive."
"Understood. My attribute is 'sword,' and I am the sharpest 'sword.' Therefore, in a time of crisis, I am the only one who will hesitate not a single second to kill Herzog," Shitoku Mai replied. "Actually, my purpose is also to protect Lu Mingfei, but the duty of a 'sword' is not to defend, but to attack. When Lu Mingfei is in danger, the only way to keep him safe is for me to give Herzog so much trouble that he has his hands completely full."
"That's right! Absolutely right, my smart girl!" The Boss was never stingy with his praise for Shitoku Mai. "I have no doubt about your ability and loyalty. Handing things over to you gives me the greatest peace of mind. The alliance between us is unbreakable, the trust between us is as solid as steel, and the end of this war will inevitably be our victory."
