Ethan didn’t know why, but he suddenly felt that something was wrong the moment he stepped into the Dud Manor after coming from the Grand Coliseum.
He had just parted ways with Nicole a moment ago, and everything seemed fine until now.
“Am I just overthinking things?” Ethan thought as he closed the gate of the manor and entered the main door.
A dozen steps later, he arrived at the Common Room, where most of his friends and acquaintances gathered before sleeping for the night.
The fireplace was burning merrily as usual, but the people who could normally be seen at this time weren’t there.
Instead, there was someone sitting on one of the chairs in the lounge and was even looking at Ethan with a smile.
“How?” Ethan muttered in disbelief because he couldn’t believe his eyes.
“How?” The Man arched an eyebrow. “Have you forgotten that you have an appointment with me? Or did you forget all about it after you returned from Nightfall Academy? Seriously, Ethan. I’m hurt.”
