Chapter 105

A sharp clap of hands drew every eye in the room.

The man responsible, around thirty, sported a slicked-back hairstyle and a neat goatee trimmed to a point at his chin.

Dressed in a casual blazer, his piercing eyes and polished demeanor radiated a magnetic charm.

“Hey, everyone,” he said, voice smooth. “I’m Julian. It’s an honor to join you all in this Dreamplay.”

“We’re partners now, so let’s work together to get through this. How about we start with introductions?”

The group exchanged wary glances, skeptical of his call for unity, but they shared their names regardless.

Ethan committed each one to memory, pairing faces with names and noting subtle quirks of character.

When the introductions wrapped, Julian continued. “Before we head in, let’s talk about Abyss Prison.”

He explained the likelihood of the prison splitting into male and female sections, his eyes scanning for reactions.

Ethan recognized the move—Julian’s first probe.

Both Julian’s team and Clara’s were seasoned, likely suspecting the prison’s structure beforehand.

The six of them, already clued in, showed no surprise.

The other four were different. Whether part of a team or random players, those unprepared would betray something—a flicker of shock or worry.
