Sevir was deep in thought as he stood outside, building 6. The hexagonal white structure shimmered in the sun. Its unique beauty was witness to the horror inside. Initially, he had not expected to hear anything, but as he stood in the back alley, a conversation between the twins floated over.
“You believe him?”
“We have followed him for many years. How can you have doubts?”
“But he let Man Li and Jian Rui walk away so easily.”
“Don’t forget, he saved our lives.”
“Yes. Because we are all he has got.”
One of them sighed helplessly, “Let us hurry before he comes back from the forest.”
“Do you still want to catch him? What about the white prince?”
Sevir smiled. He wasn’t the only one that related white to Bailong. “That is none of our business. The westerners are handling it.”
“Exactly. He does not trust us.”
“Enough of this.”
