Adults take everything.
Joanna wanted compensation.
She also wanted prison time.
Not a single thing would be spared.

Kayden suddenly started yelling, his voice sharp and wild. “Who do you think you are? You want my parents to pay four billion dollars, and you still want us to go to prison? We can give you money, but I am not going to jail! Joanna, how can you be this cruel? I used to like you. I must have been blind p>
Joanna laughed out of her rage.
Catching the eyes of trash like him was the worst kind of bad luck.
“Seven years in prison or four years in prison,” she said calmly. “Looks like you’ve chosen seven. Officer, no need to walk me out. I’ll leave on my own p>
This time, Joanna didn’t look back at all.
Soon, a new topic shot to the top of the internet trends.
“Joanna vs. the Wrights-Negotiation Breakdown”
At the same time, Amshien, a massive interstellar corporation, was alerted the moment public opinion began to turn.
Not long after, Joanna received a call from the head of Chromatic Star, a division under the Amshien Group.
“Hello, Joanna. Congratulations on becoming Chromatic Star’s top scorer,” the man said politely. “My name is Zach Frazier. I represent Amshien Group, and I want to formally apologize for the personal actions of David and his wife.
“As for the two of them, we will remove them from their positions. We only hope that you can clarify to the media that their actions were personal and had nothing to do with Amshien Group.
“As compensation, we will gift two sets of Level 10 Silver-tier Krav Armor to your two summoned beasts.

“We will also give you a Level 20 Gold-tier Summoner whip, the Venomcoil Whip.
“Would this be acceptable to you p>
Zach was level 50 and David’s direct superior.
He was stationed in Redlight City and didn’t meet Joanna in person. Instead, Amshien’s current director, Louise, contacted Joanna first, added her as a friend, and politely arranged the call.
Zach’s tone was respectful, and the compensation was generous.
At the moment, Nighthowl and Alwyn were wearing Silver-tier gear that had no level requirement. The stats were on the lower end for Silver-tier equipment, but their personal strength made gear less important anyway.
On top of that, Joanna had a weak financial foundation. She had gone from being a regular student to a genius almost overnight. Money was always tight, and gear had never been her top priority.
Zach had clearly thought this through.
Joanna also understood what this call really meant. He was making a stand.
Zach did not support David’s actions. Even though David was an employee, Amshien was cutting ties cleanly and choosing to build goodwill with Joanna instead.
A level-40 professional was already strong.
And if they give Joanna four more years after graduation, and her potential would be terrifying.
Seven or eight years down the road, if she reached level 60, she might even return to manage their entire plane.
Short-term losses meant nothing compared to that future.
“Thank you, Mr. Frazier,” Joanna said. “This was not Amshien Group’s fault. I will make a public statement to clarify p>
“That’s great to hear. I wish you continued success, Joanna p>
“And I wish you the same, Mr. Frazier p>
The call ended.
Louise smiled brightly on the side. Her long golden hair catching the light. She wasn’t flattering, just genuinely warm.

“Joanna, this is the compensation from headquarters,” Louise said. “And this spatial bracelet is a personal gift from me. Please accept it p>
She placed the bracelet down and released several sleek, high-tech cases.
With a series of soft clicks, the cases opened. Inside were two sets of Silver-tier Krav Armor and the Venomcoil Whip.
The gear could have been transferred directly, but placing it in these cases made it feel like a proper gift.
There was a clear sense of ceremony.
Joanna reached out and touched the whip.
Venomcoil Whip (Gold Tier p>
Attack Power +2,500, Spirit +600, Agility +300, Strength +100
Special Effects: Serpent’s Bite, Coiling Bind, Scale Spike, Infinite Reach
Note: It keeps getting longer. And longer. And longer.
Its attributes were five times stronger than Cardinal’s Edict.
The utility was excellent as well. Infinite reach sounded exaggerated, but the whip could truly strike targets up to 330 feet away-close to a level 20 mage’s range. It couldn’t match an archer’s 600-foot shots or a sharpshooter’s long-range sniper fire, but that wasn’t the point.
Joanna was a summoner. Her best path was survival. If an enemy rushed into her combat zone, the Venomcoil Whip could wrap around them and lock them down. As a control weapon, it was outstanding.
Joanna accepted everything with satisfaction-the whip, the armor, and Louise’s spatial bracelet as well. She had no conflict with the company. Amshien had already shown goodwill. And she saw no reason to refuse benefits that came freely, without strings attached.
