Time Remaining: 2 days, 1 hour, 15 seconds
Inside his residence, Igaris glanced at the countdown of their current dive.
Time flew by like drifting stardust, something he could neither feel nor see.
The current dive was nearing its end, so he had to prepare to leave temporarily.
Shirley was inside his room, pouting.
"So, where is the woman everyone is talking about, Igaris?" she asked, jealousy thick in her tone.
"She is outside… She'll be here any moment," he replied calmly.
"And who is she to you?" she continued to probe.
"She is my life, just like you are…" he said with genuine gentleness.
Shirley, however, didn't fall for his charm this time. Her eyes turned red after hearing the truth.
She sniffed and said,
"I thought you would be better than those men who just want a harem, but I see you're no different, Igaris. You've changed."
She turned away, her heart heavy with sorrow.
