Chapter 2744 After a short while, Steven arrived on his own, as he had promised Joshua.
He was under the assumption that he would have to deal with Joshua and Thomas. To his surprise, Gwen was the one who opened the door after he knocked. There was no sighting of Joshua and Thomas in the room either. He only saw Luna and Gwen.
