Chapter 702: Sequence of Events

Melissa was busy with her bakery work, and she just returned to their house not knowing that danger was lurking around the corner. Suddenly, a figure appeared out of nowhere and bypassed the Chimera Ants monitoring with teleportation. Melissa was startled by the sudden appearance of the stranger, but before she could even react, the figure spoke.

"Hello, Melissa," said the figure with a voice that sounded all too familiar.

Melissa's eyes widened in shock as she looked at the figure closely. The man bore a striking resemblance to her son, Fein.

"Fein, what are you doing here?" asked Melissa, confused.

The figure chuckled softly and gave a small smile. "I'm not Fein, Melissa," he said. "But I can understand why you might think that. I'm Niki..."

Melissa was now even more confused than before. "Niki? Are you my son's friend, then?" she asked.
