"Hahaha, Li Wen! My man! A job damn well done!"
Ares's voice boomed like a great bell, making the eardrums of those standing near him ring.
His massive, fan-like hand came down hard on Li Wen's shoulder with an unapologetic slap, letting out a dull thud.
"Third on the overall leaderboard! And you even snagged the title 'God of Slaughter'! Now, in all of Alka, who doesn't know our Source Net branch has produced another true dragon? Awesome! Hahaha!"
Ares's eyes were filled with undisguised admiration and a clear sense of shared pride.
Isabel walked up to Li Wen, her clear eyes gazing at him. For a fleeting moment, a hint of bashfulness over the "Recommendation" token seemed to flash in their depths.
But it was instantly overtaken by a smile of pure joy for his achievement.
Her voice was clear and melodious. "Congratulations, Li Wen. Topping the charts in World No. 13 and placing third overall—you've more than earned it." Her praise was sincere.
