Ron scratched his ear, suspecting something had gone wrong.

Wasn't this the tone used in the school comics in which the subordinates reported to their leader?

While Ron was still lost in his own world, the game continued. Maria considered for a while and then said, “Darren, I have broken up with

Anthony."

Darren did not have a significant other.

Ron, being a devoted fan, was well aware of this.

When Maria informed Darren that, per the regulations, she was once again single, Ron watched with a racing heart. His reaction was similar to that of a girl watching a love drama.

“Say something, Darren! Now!"

Ron practically screamed in his mind, hoping Darren on the other end of the phone would say something newsworthy.

However, what was said next really surprised him.

After a brief pause, Darren asked in a low voice, "Truth or Dare?" Maria's face Lit up with a smile.

“That's smart. Bye."

She abruptly ended the call, and no one seemed to mind.

A the same time, in Yeez Team's training facility, Darren was still staring blankly at his cell phone.

The second in command, Thomas, approached and patted Darren on the back.

“Hey, what are you doing? Snap out of it!"

If Thomas had paid more attention to Darren's phone screen, he would have also been surprised that Darren had just had a phone conversation with Maria.

“Hmm... Should be," Darren said after a brief contemplation.

He set his phone aside and immediately used the keyboard and mouse to eliminate more than a hundred opponents in the game.

Then the music cueing a reminder sounded loud and clear. The screen of Darren's computer flashed a single word with stunning visual effects: WIN!

Thomas whistled and asked, "New record? That's so sick!"

In contrast, Darren remained silent during the whole exchange. Reflexively, he moved on to the following round.

On the other side, the game continued.

“Let me choose this time!" Vivian announced.
