Liam's Invitation

Jeremy glanced at the caller ID and discovered that the call was from a strange number. 

He felt a twinge of confusion. 

Howard and Benjamin had previously assured him that his phone number would not easily be known to unrelated individuals. 

This meant that the person calling him must be someone of great significance. 

Before answering the call, Jeremy deliberately shifted his gaze towards Claire and Emma. 

"I am about to take an important call, so I would appreciate it if you both could wait for a moment." 

Claire and Emma quickly nodded in agreement. 

Only after confirming that they would not be upset did Jeremy proceed to answer the phone. 

"Mr. Jeremy, your timing for this call seems rather late. Are you perhaps engaged in battle within an instance? If so, please feel free to continue with your fight." 

The voice on the other end was one that Jeremy recognized quite well.
