Instead of answering Kairos' question, Liam asked, "Where is Ren?"
"Ren?" Raul was taken aback by how casually Liam referred to their leader. "You mean our leader?"
"Yeah. Ren, Ren Starfall," Liam responded, "Captain Noah said he is the leader of this organization."
"He is not around at the moment," Raul was suddenly curious about their relationship.
"Are you a friend of our leader?" Kairos asked curiously.
Before Liam could answer Kairos' question, a voice rang out.
"Liam, you have returned?" Ren was pleased when he saw Liam, but he only smiled softly as he needed to maintain his image.
"Ren!" Liam approached him with a happy face. "Ren, I've broken through to 3-star. I'm as strong as you now!"
Ren tapped Liam's left shoulder and spoke, "Nice progress, but you are still far behind. I've already reached Grandmaster in my Warrior class, and my Mage class is at 4-star."
"Damn! I thought I finally caught up to you," Liam said with a wry smile.
