The war ended, and everyone returned.
The City Lord's Mansion held a grand victory feast, inviting everyone to attend.
City Lord Otz stood on a high platform, announcing the results of the war to the crowd, who erupted in applause and cheers.
Li Wei stood in the crowd. He saw Gus and Merson at the feast, and standing beside them was a gentlemanly, middle-aged man.
He walked over to greet them.
Seeing him, Merson smiled and introduced the man beside him.
"Li Wei, this is Monis."
Monis looked at Li Wei, smiled, and extended his hand for a shake.
"I've heard so much about you, Mage Li Wei. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Li Wei smiled and said, "You flatter me, Vice President. You're too kind."
Monis said, "Actually, we should have met long ago."
Li Wei asked in surprise, "Oh? I don't seem to recall."
Monis smiled. "I saw your match with Reina at Golden Shield Manor."
