Chapter 311: Checkpoint and Background 4

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Agatha's phone rang, breaking the silence. She picked it up quickly and stepped away from the group to answer the call. 

"Hello?," she said, her voice steady but her eyes showing concern . 

She started the conversation normally, but as the minutes passed, her face grew paler and her gaze repeatedly shifted toward Reign and the phone.

By the time she ended the call, she looked ashen and shaken.

Slowly, she walked back toward Reign, her steps slower and her demeanor subdued.

"Mr. Rain," she began, her voice soft but earnest, "we believe you came here with good intentions for the city. I apologize on behalf of the military. The General called and requested your assistance because the fort is struggling to fend off the attack, and we desperately need your help." She bowed her head respectfully.

Reign's expression hardened, a sneer forming on his lips.
