Hua Chen was somewhat surprised by Luo Bi's readiness. He was a mid-level second-grade Thunderflame Warrior with strong A-grade genes. Not long ago, he had been appointed as the captain of the Fifth Combat Team of the Scorched Emperor Star. In every aspect, he was superior to Luo Bi, an ordinary person. Logically, Luo Bi should have strongly opposed the annulment of their engagement upon hearing about it.

Hua Chen had long been prepared to deal with Luo Bi's纠缠, but the ease with which the engagement was dissolved left a hint of doubt in his eyes. However, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of Luo Bi's intentions, it was good that the engagement could be smoothly dissolved.

"Please return the storage ring I gave you," Hua Chen said, asking for the valuable item he had given away.

Luo Bi looked at Hua Chen as if she were seeing him for the first time, finding it unbelievable. She continued to chuckle, thinking to herself, "You want to dissolve the engagement and still get the storage ring back? Dream on!"

Luo Bi, who was good at pretending, feigned difficulty: "It's impossible to return it. Uh... about ten days ago, I went to the mining area to try my luck and left the storage ring there."

Scorched Emperor Star was a border planet of the Empire, with mineral resources classified as mid-grade. To earn interstellar coins, many people would go to abandoned mining areas that had been extensively mined, hoping to find leftover Bifei stones. Luo Bi was one of them.

In her spare time, Luo Bi would visit the mining area from time to time.

Occasionally, she would extract a few low-quality Bifei stones, which would sell for over a thousand interstellar coins a month. Compared to others, this wasn't a lot, but it wasn't insignificant either. Her luck was slightly above average, and she controlled it well. No one noticed that she had already awakened her talent, and no one would think that someone would hide their talent and not want to become a prestigious Talent Contract Master.

The abandoned mining area was vast, and if something like a ring fell there, it would be impossible to find.

Luo Bi's reason was simply an excuse to avoid returning it, unless she had lost her mind.

Luo Bi stopped fiddling with the teacup handle and instead used her index finger to playfully tap it, not planning to drink the tea today. After being dumped, she had no mood for tea; she was too angry to even think about it.

"You... lost it," Hua Chen said, slightly annoyed.

The storage ring was a first-grade storage device, with only three square meters of space, worth 300,000 interstellar coins. For Hua Chen, this was a significant amount, but since the engagement was dissolved, he didn't want to give it away for free. He didn't believe her story about losing it, but with Luo Bi insisting, what could he do? As a strong-gene Thunderflame Warrior, he couldn't resort to violence against a woman he was engaged to!

Hua Chen's faint sense of guilt was completely overshadowed by his anger: "That's 300,000 interstellar coins. Didn't you look for it?"

"I did, but I couldn't find it," Luo Bi lied, determined not to return it. Whoever returned it would be the fool.

"You...," Hua Chen's eyes turned dark, his voice low and menacing: "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. I don't want the storage ring anymore. Consider it compensation for me proposing the annulment. From now on, we are even." With that, he gave Luo Bi a contemptuous look, pushed his chair back, and walked away.

Because Hua Chen hadn't controlled his volume, he attracted the attention of the surrounding guests, including a few familiar faces who were Thunderflame Warriors, likely from the Phoenix Glory Imperial Army.

As the inquisitive gazes fell on her, Luo Bi, despite her anger, felt somewhat uncomfortable. She slowly lifted the teacup lid to smell the tea, pretending not to notice.
