"Anyway, I am going to Mourning Depths you." Alice suddenly said.
Max studied Alice carefully, his brows furrowing slightly.
She was serious.
More than that—
She was determined.
And that worried him.
He sighed lightly, shaking his head.
"Anton, Bruce, and the other top geniuses from the Phoenix Order Guild might be joining the exploration."
Alice simply shrugged, crossing her arms.
"I don't know. They don't tell me anything these days."
Her voice held a slight bitterness, a reminder that she was still being left out.
Max frowned.
That wasn't a good sign.
"You should ask your mother about this," he said seriously.
"Though I'll still say this—sit this one out. The Mourning Depths is one of the many forbidden places in the Lower Domain. Dangers will be everywhere. No matter how strong you are, it's not worth the risk."
Alice's expression darkened.
Then—
She shook her head firmly.
"It doesn't matter."
Her voice was resolute, unwavering.
