After returning with Uncle Lee, Sophia immediately called over the ones who had attacked Whispering Wind before, including Jessica. She then said to Eric, "Eric, I'm sorry. I've already agreed to Sealed's terms, so…"
"You don't need to explain, Miss," Eric said with a bitter smile. "Honestly, from the moment we made our move, I had a feeling this day would come. You don't mess with Sealed's crew so easily."
"Don't worry," Sophia promised. "As long as you still see yourselves as part of the Snowcrest Group, even if you get sent back to the Novice Village, I'll make sure you're equipped with the best gear and get your levels back up quickly."
"Thank you, Miss."
"What! Cousin, you're handing us over to Sealed to be killed?" Jessica shrieked.
