Evening arrived, and Ace, Liu Mei, and Shan Yifeng stepped out of the system space.
As they gathered, Ace spoke, "After dinner, you both will be staying inside for the next few days."
Shan Yifeng's face instantly soured, clearly unhappy with the arrangement.
But oh boy, if only you could have seen Liu Mei's expression—pure bliss and joy, like she had just won the grandest treasure in the world.
Earlier that day, Ace had personally handed over 50 Spirit Pigs to the Hua family as a gift, along with a surplus of the pills he had been holding onto.
Hua Hua, upon receiving such wealth, nearly lost his mind. He went on and on about how this single gift was worth more than what the Hua family had accumulated in years.
Hua Lesy, however, was not present. Hua Hua said that she seemed to have been caught up in some trouble lately, though Ace didn't bother to dig deep into the details.
Regardless, the dinner went by smoothly, filled with good food and casual conversation.
