Inside Tony's room, the atmosphere had turned unusually heavy.
Lily, Julie, and Leo still stood there, none of them willing to leave. The silence stretched longer than expected, filled with unspoken questions and rising tension. It was clear—they weren't going anywhere until Tony gave them answers.
The wash-room door finally opened.
Tony stepped out, wearing a fresh set of clothes, his hair neatly tied back. His expression was calm, almost indifferent, as if nothing serious had happened at all. He glanced at the three of them, his eyes clearly asking—
"Why are you still here?"
Before anyone could speak—
A servant wearing Punishment Hall robes rushed inside and bowed slightly.
"Tony Clark, disciple of the Healing Tower, is summoned to the Punishment Hall… immediately!!!"
The words struck the room like thunder.
Julie's face paled… Leo clenched his fists… Lily's brows furrowed sharply.
But Tony— Tony smiled. "As expected…"
