Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 251 Being the Spotlight

Violeta checked the clock and saw it was just half past ten.

They needed to assemble at the lodging by twelve, still ninety minutes away.

"Okay, I'll give it a shot!"

The owner, Darwin, was extremely pleased.

The photographer's voice echoed faintly, "Darwin, what did you just curse me for?"

Darwin turned and scowled at him, "Why did you take Dawn without my consent? What if it gets damaged?"

The photographer replied, "I noticed the finest zither on the wall, so I borrowed it."

Darwin retorted, "Haha, you certainly have good taste, always choosing the best!"

Violeta and Kaylee strolled over from the pond, carrying the zither carefully.

Upon seeing them, the two didn't argue anymore.

"Let's go! You can now participate in the zither challenge. Oh, by the way, there's another participant. The two of you can go together." "Alright."

...

The group reached the zither shop.

A lengthy queue still awaited them at the entrance, and at that instant, Nolan and his companions also arrived at the zither shop.

Hattie was seated in front of the zither, already growing impatient.

Upon finally spotting the owner, she eagerly exclaimed, "Let's begin, I'm short on time!"

Upon uttering those words, she noticed Violeta and Kaylee behind the owner. Her expression immediately soured.
