The Luna Choosing Game

Chapter 0545

My mind reeled. I couldn't imagine what another event might be. To me, personally, I was still trying to recover from the previous events, including the treasure hunt on the island where I had fallen into that pit as well as the social event with the merfolk that nearly ended in an international incident.

Nicholas dashed up the stairs two at a time. When he was gone from sight, I continued walking down the hallway toward the deck.
