Time flew by; the battle for the top 50 was close at hand.
However, Earl Bacon arrived with his daughter, Xiao Hui, for a visit, which Anna cordially welcomed inside.
Lu Hong came out from the inner room upon hearing the news and asked in confusion, "Lord Earl, what brings you here?"
"Lu Hong, you have truly caused me great distress." Lu Hong had been fighting bravely, his invincible stature had dominated the headlines of the Seven Layers Realm, which had certainly changed Bacon's view of him. Initially, Bacon had only hoped that Lu Hong would smoothly make it into the top 500; that would have been sufficient. But to his surprise, Lu Hong had defeated Bo Ge and advanced into the top 50. Knowing that Bo Ge was a hot favorite to win the championship, being eliminated in the top 100 spoke volumes about Lu Hong's strength.
"Please, have a seat." Lu Hong invited both to sit down. Xiao Hui managed a strained smile: "Xiao Hui greets Brother Lu Hong."
