Chapter 143 - Unveiling Ivana's Secret

Ivana stood before Broken, holding a wooden basket tightly in her hands. A shield was strapped to her back, and a sword was sheathed at her side.

"I brought this food for you," she said with a warm smile.

Despite her efforts, Broken couldn't take his eyes off her, marveling at the transformation. She looked like a genuine warrior now. Hadn't she been just a chef before? Or had she always had a combat class but chosen not to reveal it? Her level was clearly above 200! One striking difference was her name, now glowing purple, signifying her status as a Special NPC. He distinctly remembered her as a Common NPC!

Ivana noticed his silent contemplation and felt a twinge of confusion, wondering if he had grown tired of her cooking.

"Broken, have you grown tired of my food? I can cook something different for you," she said softly, pulling back her wooden basket.

"No," Broken answered immediately, shaking his head to clear his thoughts.
