Second Meeting

As Jake was at the height of his motivation, ready to test his new Aetherdream World ability, someone tried to communicate with him through his bracelet. With a dissatisfied lip twitch, he begrudgingly accepted the call.

"Will? What is it? If it's not urgent, call me back later," He spoke in a tone filled with a hint of reproach.

The merchant on the other end of the line cringed, dumbfounded. "What did I do wrong this time?"

"Why are you calling me?" Jake grumbled again impatiently.

Remembering why he had contacted his friend in the first place, Will quickly mentioned, "Remember the debriefing in room 207 that Grigori strongly encouraged us to attend? It's about to start. The room is full, but we saved you a seat. Hurry if you want to come."
