Heard of Seacrest Prefecture, Unaware of Brightsea

All eyes turned to the entrance.

The door opened.

Five people entered together.

Three men and two women.

As soon as these five stepped in, Evan Lin noticed the courtyard's previously harmonious atmosphere shift in a subtle but unmistakable way.

"Oh, look who it is—Gordon Guo. Did all those mountain hikes fry your brain or something? This isn't a door you should be walking through."

Frank Bi's voice was a little cold as he stared at the guy in front, clearly unfriendly: "If you want to play, go find your own spot. Don't come here looking for trouble."

"Today's a rare day for us to get together—we don't have time to deal with you lot."

Gordon Guo wasn't offended; he just smiled. "Frank Bi, I really didn't come to the wrong place today. Back then, when you guys invited me, I wasn't even interested."
