The highest point of Lake City

Early the next morning, Ella's pendant heated up again.

This meant a client was trying to contact her, and at this time, it could only be the employer from the ring mission.

Ella's heart skipped a beat. "I don't know what you're talking about," she replied.

"Good, you're the first to play tricks in front of me," the voice said.

Ella was at a loss for words.

"My name is Chen. I'll find you soon, and then you, your companions, and that ring won't be able to escape," the voice stated coldly before ending the call.

Ella turned pale, her body trembling slightly.

The ring was something Chen wanted?
