Jacob wasn't expecting Hallberg's call at this time when there were still about two weeks left before their arrangement.
Furthermore, it wasn't a projection call but a voice call that seemed quite off, knowing Hallberg's character.
Jacob then accepted the call, and Hallberg's jolly voice rang, "I hope I didn't disrupt your sleep or anything?"
Jacob's eyes narrowed ever so slightly as he replied, "No worries. Is there something you need to tell me?"
Hallberg didn't waste time as he revealed, "The thing is, there's been a change in my plan of leaving the Rare Plains. As you already know that the Dark Beings are marching toward the Dark City, and somehow the higher-ups in the Epic Plains got wind of it.
"So, they contacted me and told me to secure the Dark City at any cost and defend it. They also made it pretty clear if I leave my post in a state of crisis, I won't be welcome in the Epic Plains.
