In the secret chamber.
People raised their glasses in celebration.
They were celebrating the alliance they formed with each other.
At this moment.
Everyone thought Ullric had won and had no idea what had actually happened.
The clock on the wall ticked slowly.
No one paid attention to it.
Until a certain moment.
The moment Shen Ye persuaded the "King" away—
The second hand jumped forward, then back, then forward again.
It finally stopped again.
At this instant.
Someone finally noticed the movement.
—In the hand of the Dragon Girl appeared a staff, which glimmered with a faint light, as if about to release something.
But in the stagnant time, the light and the staff remained motionless.
Xu Xingke was holding a card in his hand.
At the moment time stopped, he hadn't had time to activate that card.
Xiao Mengyu's hand rested on the sword hilt.
The moment time stopped—
She was aware, but she also had no chance to draw her sword.
