Chapter 564: The Extra Daughter

Yarin's POV:

This was a run away from home. There was no doubt about it. The truth was undeniable, even if I spared no effort to glorify it as a great adventure.

I admitted that I was a little regretful now. What I saw along the way was completely different from what I imagined. Heller and I followed Lily across the border and sneaked into the human territory, but the scene here disappointed me.

The decaying and dirty streets, the walking dead, the malicious gazes, and the idle life were all part of this adventure. Lily mocked us for being ignorant and treating a shady alley as a colorful human society.

"This is an abandoned neighborhood," she said. "This is one of the prices paid by this prosperous border city. The people here are hopeless. Their compatriots have abandoned them and can only rely on meager relief and contraband to survive."

"Why is this happening?" Heller asked.
