44 Let Me Come With You!

Nash examined the girl in front of him and couldn't help but admire her beauty in his heart secretly.

Despite remembering her figure and look from the gathering three days ago, at that time she left no deep impression on him as he didn't pay attention to her except for a few seconds. However, now that she was standing exactly a meter away from him and looked at him with her calm but firm eyes, he must say she was indeed a cutie that was in her own league.

There was hardly anyone else currently he knew or remember who could compete her in quality of charm and look.

As the two stared at each other without saying a single word, Nash crossed his arms before his chest and asked calmly, "And you must be...?"

"Just call me Amy," Amy replied without hesitation before she extended her hand which held the device that looked similar to a tablet and said, "As for what I just said, there is no reason for your uncle to ask the people around for their choices as I have already done it."

"You have done it?" Uncle Ben raised a brow and reached out for the device in Amy's hand, but was surprised to see Amy pull her hand away and look at her with a cold gaze.

"Just what do you think you are doing?"

"What?" Uncle Ben felt startled by the look and tone of voice with which Amy just treated him, but soon showed a deep frown and his eyes flashed dangerously.

"Hmph." Amy just sneered quietly seeing the threatening gaze directed toward her and shifted her gaze back at Nash while extending the device to him once again.

"Here. I have collected all the data of everyone's choice."

Looking at the device then at Amy and his uncle, Nash decided to ignore the previous quarrel as it was only remote and accepted the device from Amy's hand together with a thankful nod.

'...'

Inspecting the data on the screen in silence, Nash couldn't help but widen his eyes scarcely and look at Amy from time to time, feeling deeply shocked by her skilled way of execution.

"You did this all by yourself?" Nash asked after a small while, his voice holding his shock.

"Yes. Although it was somewhat a challenge at first, once I have gotten used to how to operate the things on it, everything went rather smoothly."

As Nash listened to Amy's voice, he couldn't help but scroll through the many things noted in the device and feel awe. Everything was so well organized and detailed that he couldn't help but raise his gaze at Amy and look at her in a slightly different light than before.

"Thank you. I really do." Nash showed a gentle smile and without a second thought took out a deep black crystal from his pocket and he handed it over.

Amy's eyes brightened up like stars by the sight of the Space Jade Crystals, and even without the need to hear why Nash was giving it to her, she took it away, and after giving it a glance she put it into her pocket.

"As for this device, I hope it won't be a problem if I give this to my uncle for a few days, right?" Nash asked Amy once she put the Space Jade Crystal away.

Amy raised her head and glanced at Uncle Ben with a pondering look, she nodded and said, "Until he keeps his hands away from the data on the device, I am fine with it. Well, it is not like I won't notice if he tries to do something dubious or something, but it's better safe than sorry."

Nash raised a brow upon hearing those words and couldn't help but wonder just what kind of things did his uncle do to deserve such words and treatment. First, a man who mined in the same Section as him back on Planet Azure and now her; if initially he thought that there was something odd, now he completely understood that there were indeed a few things he was not aware of.

'Once I am back, I definitely need to talk with him.' Nash thought to himself as he handed the device toward his uncle and said, "Now that we have got this thanks to Amy, selecting heads for each branch will be much easier. Do you think you can do it?"

Glancing at Amy coldly for a moment before averting his gaze and looking at Nash, Uncle Ben took the device away and took a peek at it. Yet, when he too saw just how detailed the information was, he too failed to contain his awe and widen his eyes as a result.

However, his shock was rather short-lived as he quickly calmed down and asked, completely ignoring Amy's mocking smile on his side, "I just need to find a few candidates that seem to be the best choice to become the head of the Branch they have chosen to join?"

"Yes. But those that have been chosen need to be the best among the rest, so make sure you test both their skills and knowledge. I will lend you Revio too so things will be easier." Nash said and ordered Revio to help his uncle in this matter.

"Sure, leave it to me." Uncle Ben showed a thumb up with a wide grin, which surprisingly made Amy sneer with disgust for no apparent reason.

Nash noticing this knitted his brows into a small frown, but decided not to say anything. Until he did not understand the core of the things he wished not to judge and act blindly, let it be his uncle or someone else.

Instead, he looked at his uncle and said, "Thank you. Then make sure once you have selected all the candidates you notify me."

"I will." Uncle Ben nodded then giving a cold look at Amy he waved toward Revio, who was still trying to recover from his exhaustion, and walked away slowly.

Watching as his uncle's back vanished among the palace walls together with Revio, Nash let out a quiet sigh and said to Erys, "Let's go."

However, just as he was about to take a step forward, suddenly Amy's voice appeared in his ear, forcing him to halt his steps abruptly.

"Can I come with you?"

Turning around to see a pair of silver eyes calmly looking at him from a rather close distance, Nash raised a brow and asked, "You want to come with me? I hope you know I am not going sightseeing, right?"

"Yeah, I figured that out already." Amy nodded calmly and added, "But still, I want to go with you."

Nash remained silent for a while and pondered. Although he had no clue why Amy wished to go with him, he was more than aware clear that the possibility of dying out there in the unknown was rather high, especially for her who's Legacy was yet to be unsealed.

"And your reason is...?" Nash asked after a few seconds, his complexion turning rather serious all of a sudden, which was understandable if one thought about it a little.

Although he had the ability to protect anyone from danger and even death to a limited degree, even outside of this underground place, he couldn't deny the fact that there were simply too much he has yet to understand about this planet and its environment, thus he couldn't just let Amy come with him; the risk was just too great.

However, the reason Amy just told him the very next second caught him completely off his guard.
