Hao Xuan stood before the gate waiting for the owner of the voice to arrive.
A few minutes passed and the sound of the metal clicking came from the other side before the gate opened on its own.
On the other side stood tall man with a pale complexion. He had burn marks all over his face and looked like he had just come out a fight.
"Who are you? What do you want? Why are you creating trouble here?" he fired one question after another while carefully analyzing Hao Xuan himself.
Hao Xuan didn't answer straight away and looked at the city behind him. Galena was a city of two million people on its own and with the evacuation order, there must have been panic among the populace, yet right now the city looked like a ghost a town. There was not a single soul other than the tall man anywhere in sight.
The black haze that was surrounding the Castle was so dense just on the other side of the gate that it seemed like a different world.
