This meant a client was trying to contact her, and at this time, it could only be the employer from the ring mission.
Ella hesitated but eventually answered.
"The ring is in your possession now, isn't it?" The voice on the other end was unnervingly cold.
Ella's heart skipped a beat. "I don't know what you're talking about," she replied.
"Good, you're the first to play tricks in front of me," the voice said.
Ella was at a loss for words.
"My name is Chen. I'll find you soon, and then you, your companions, and that ring won't be able to escape," the voice stated coldly before ending the call.
Ella turned pale, her body trembling slightly.
Chen?

She was all too familiar with that name.
On the Arsen continent, both Holy Grass City and the name Chen were enough to intimidate most people.
The ring was something Chen wanted?
