After introducing themselves, Yuka and two others sat on the opposite side of the table.
The usually lively Philip, with red ears and his head down, stayed silent, leading to a quiet moment among everyone at the table.
Yuka, turning her head, quietly asked Donny sitting next to her, "What were you guys playing just now?"
Donny honestly replied, "We weren't playing. He called you here to form an alliance with you."
Hearing this, Ayoi looked at Shawn in surprise and asked, "Is that so?"
Shawn, feeling helpless, nodded.
He had originally wanted Ayoi and her friends to first play a few games to get to know each other before discussing the alliance.
However, Donny had inadvertently revealed their intention, forcing Shawn to clarify his request immediately and try his best to get them to agree.
