Aiden, Evan, and Livia stood at the entrance of the Crimson Tower, their expressions a mix of anticipation and concern.
They had been tasked with collecting the precious blood marbles from within, a mission that had already been met with some unexpected twists due to Marco's mysterious delays.
Aiden couldn't help but voice his impatience. "Has anyone seen Marco? It's as if he enjoys making us wait."
Evan's annoyance was palpable as he replied, "I haven't seen him either. This is becoming a pattern. He always arrives late."
Livia chimed in, her voice tinged with exasperation. "I agree. It's frustrating, especially when we have an important task like this."
Aiden, not known for his patience, finally sighed and declared, "Well, we can't let Marco's tardiness hold us back. Let's proceed without him. If he's slow, that's his problem."
