After bidding farewell to the members of the Angel Guild, Irving first sought out Sophia. Although he considered rescuing Vicky to be of utmost importance, collaborating with others was equally crucial. In the absence of a clear plan to save Vicky, he needed to prioritize forming alliances.
Sophia was very pleased to see Irving. She had thought it was impossible for him to return, knowing how unique his feelings for Vicky were. His return brought her unexpected joy.
"How did it go? Vicky hasn't run into any danger, has she? Have you already rescued her?"
While Sophia had never been particularly concerned about Vicky, she felt the need to show some care in front of Irving.
In response to Sophia's inquiry, Irving shook his head with a worried expression.
"What happened? Has Vicky been killed by the Night Blades?" Sophia said, furrowing her brow as she voiced the worst-case scenario.
Irving sighed.
