Kapitel 1644: The Celestial Peak

When Alex was requested to get ready to leave, it was still 2 hours past midnight. He took no time to be ready and within 15 minutes, everyone was gathered outside on the streets where few people still walked and most of the shops were closed.

The moon was out, glimmering like a pale sphere of silver with a piece missing on the side. The spotless moon was otherwise beautiful in the open night.

"Perfect!" King Wan said as he looked to the sky. "No clouds today, so the views will be better than we could've hoped for. You should consider yourself lucky, Your Majesty. It's not every day that we see such a cloudless night."

Alex nodded but said nothing.

"Did we have to leave this early?" Yao Ning asked with a slightly annoyed look on her face. "It's still the middle of the night. When does the sun rise anyway? 5 in the morning?" she asked.
