A tough conversation

"Jin..." Lin Mu whispered, her voice carrying a softness that warmed Leo from within, reassuring him that his NPC sister had managed to recognize him even under his new alias.

"Lin!" Leo exclaimed, his excitement palpable as he flashed his NPC sister a thumbs up.

"I'm sorry, sister, while I did see you earlier in the warm-up area at the south arena, I couldn't get a chance to speak with you, with so many people around" Leo said, apologizing honestly, as Lin Mu shook her head and let out a gentle sigh.

It seemed like her dumb brother was still unaware of the hardships that Lin Mu had endured during his absence.

Unaware of how while he was practicing with the legend Ben Faulkner, Lin Mu was being subjected to incredible torture, day in and day out.
