Chapter 281: Vivian's Fangirl

After being led in circles through a weird, old street in Athens, the group finally arrived at the Shadowy Divide, a peculiar spatial anomaly trapped in time. Most of the modern buildings had disappeared by then and were replaced by ancient, stone buildings as well as statues. Most of them slanted towards the centre of the road like hunting beasts ready to pounce. Hao Ren noticed at the end of the twisted street, stood a building that was vastly different from its surroundings. It looked rather old, but it bore the hallmarks of a modern two-storey, corner lot building with red bricks and blue tiles. The ground floor had a giant glass window and there was a signboard by the door, akin to a storefront.

The "old friend" whom Vivian was looking for was standing in front of the shop waiting for them. She called herself Hesperides, which was a rather odd-sounding name.
