Anthony's voice suddenly grew somber. He opened his mouth, ready to entrust the last ember of the Magic Empire to Lisa, hoping she wouldn't refuse given their mentor-student relationship.
However, before he could speak, Lisa gently asked, "Have you considered every possible solution? Yet you've forgotten to ask your disciple to serve you."
Anthony was stunned, looking at Lisa in disbelief.
Her eyes glimmered with complex emotions.
After a long gaze, Lisa said softly, "Teacher, without you, I might only remain a skilled Chef, eventually unable to keep up with Roland's pace, completely falling behind."
"Teacher, do you truly believe that culinary skills can capture someone's heart?"
Lisa casually lifted her long hair, and Anthony noticed that the roots of her hair had turned crimson, a sign of mastering Fire Magic to an extent that transforms one's body.
