Hearing this, the Elder paused for a moment before slowly saying, "Not yet. Let's wait a little longer. It's not time yet."
Klein's heart sank, but there was nothing he could do. He could only nod and wait silently by the side.
Time was ticking down, and there was only one hour left. The three of them were worried about Cole and the others, afraid that they would not be able to return on time.
"Audrey, do you think they'll be able to return?" Klein, who was the most worried, kept asking Audrey. They had spent a lot of effort trying to open the portal, let alone Cole and the others.
"They will," Audrey said confidently. She believed that Cole, Hobart, and Adrian's abilities were not inferior to hers.
Klein nodded, and the tension in his heart eased a little.
