Wu Heng, Lilith, Minnie, Shiraque, and Shi Yali sat together. After a simple meal, they stayed seated and chatted.
Just then, the Satellite Phone began to ring.
Wu Heng picked it up, glanced at it, and answered.
The screen lit up, then switched to a Video Call.
The phone screen was crammed with several excited, smiling faces—Shanala, Viola, the Wood Elf Sisters Eluria and Sylvien, as well as Robbie and Annette.

Shanala raised a brow and played coy. "Take a guess?"

Shanala's expression instantly froze. Her eyes widened as she blurted out, "How did you know?!"

Lilith, Shiraque, and the others beside him also revealed looks of disbelief.
"My god, the video was only uploaded this morning, and they succeeded by evening?" Shiraque couldn't help exclaiming softly.
