Kapitel 289: The keeper

It was almost 11 in the morning but the sky was completely covered with dark clouds, making it look like the sun never even risen.

There was a light drizzle which hadn't stopped since last night. The air was cold and wet, making the city's already somber atmosphere even more austere.

Most of the outer city shops were closed and very few people could be seen walking around at this time. Instead, there were squads of soldiers patrolling the streets, stopping any suspicious individuals for interrogation.

*Tap*Tap*Tap*

Two individuals were walking along the stone streets with large bamboo umbrellas that were hiding their entire top halves, bypassing squad after squad of soldiers without getting stopped.

They were dressed in civilian clothes but the badges hanging from their waists were enough to keep anyone from bothering them.

"So? You gonna tell me what's happening?" Jin Wang asked while stretching his neck to keep away the cold air that was repeatedly brushing past him.
