As soon as Lia walked out of the cafe, she swiftly took out her phone and called a cab. Since she came here under the demand of City Lord Liebert, he didn't allow Albert to follow her and wanted the young ones to have some free space.
And that also meant going back to the Inner District on her own.
However, just as she finished calling a cab, her phone suddenly rang.
Surprisingly, it was one of her friends from Nova-1 High—Maris.
They had been close for a long time, but after she became an evolver, she rarely showed up at school. Because of that, they hadn't talked to each other for a long while.
With a click, she accepted the call.
"Hello, Maris!" Lia greeted in a happy tone. "It's been so long since you called me. I thought you forgot about me."
However, Maris didn't share the same energy as Lia.
Instead, her voice was solemn. "Lia... Are you free right now?"
"Yes, I am," Lia replied. "Why? Did something happen?"
