Charlie was in a hurry.

He raced towards Aurous Hill University, determined to find what he was looking for.

This time, instead of driving in, he decided to park his car in a nearby parking lot and walk into the campus.

As he made his way towards the Academic Affairs Building, he couldn’t help but recall the last time he was here and how he had driven away, feeling frustrated and defeated.

To boost his spirits, Charlie decided to wear the mysterious ring he had been carrying with him.

He carefully put it on his finger and walked confidently towards the building.

With every step he took, he paid close attention to the ring, hoping for a sign that he was on the right track.

Unfortunately, the ring remained silent, disappointing him greatly.

Charlie pondered to himself, “Last time the ring reacted when I was leaving.

Maybe it recognizes the direction?”

With this thought in mind, Charlie retraced his steps and walked back the way he came.

However, as he walked out of the school gates, the ring remained silent.

Frustrated and annoyed, Charlie couldn’t help but mutter to himself, “You danced for me last time, why not this time? Did you fall asleep or something? Maybe I should take you to Thompson First to experience the underground garage again!”

But the ring remained unresponsive.

In a last-ditch effort, Charlie decided to head back to the parking lot and get in his car.

Maybe his luck would change if he went to the underground parking lot of Thompson First high-rise.

As soon as Charlie drove out of the parking lot, his phone rang unexpectedly.

He picked it up and was surprised to see that the caller was none other than Dr.

Simmons’s granddaughter, Xyla.

Charlie hadn’t seen the grandfather and granddaughter duo in quite some time.

He knew that Dr.

Simmons had opened a medical clinic in Aurous Hill, where he and Xyla were using their skills to help those in need.

However, with so much going on recently, Charlie hadn’t had a chance to visit them.

Furthermore, the two of them rarely reached out to him.

Charlie assumed it was because the clinic was busy and they didn’t want to trouble him too much.

Charlie’s mind raced as he wondered why Xyla had called him out of the blue.

Was something wrong with Dr.
