章 86: 86: The Last Stronghold

In Baiguo City, Rank Studio.

Lauren stood by the window, her gaze absent as she murmured to herself, "The number one player in Infinite Dimensions—just a week ago, he was still one of my subordinates. It's really laughable. What did I even do for fate to play such a joke on me?"

"Um... Lauren, is there something you need to discuss with me?" Charles's voice came from behind her.

Lauren snapped out of her thoughts and turned to see him. Her lips twitched, unsure of what to say.

"Charles... my Charles, you're putting me in a very awkward position!" Lauren said with a smile that barely concealed her frustration. She was about to snap at him when Charles did something that made her hold her tongue.

Lauren's gaze shifted downwards, where she saw Charles standing upright with a serious look on his face, kneeling in front of her with great form. His posture was impeccable, the kind of thing he had clearly practiced many times.
