Chapter 158: Shopping (Part 1/2)

Around midday, you will all meet up at the building at the back exit of the Capital. You can't possibly miss it. It juts out of the red-light district like a sore thumb. As for all of your keys and the procedures for leaving your rooms…" As the clerk droned on to the unwilling crowd, Frey felt an elbow nudge his arm. He looked to his left to find Doevm.

"Hey, you're alive." Frey said, nudging him back.

"Nice to see you too," Doevm chuckled. "I need to do some urgent shopping today, but I need you to come with me, if you're not busy."
