Bab 128: Initial Contact (Part One)

The city of Urumqi, morning.

Zhao Lei had always been an early riser and today was no exception. Dressed in a plain and simple casual outfit, he sauntered into a breakfast shop.

"Hey, you're here!" the owner greeted him.

"Just those three things as usual!"

"Sure. Go find yourself a table."

He walked right in and sat down in a corner. The shop was packed with people of all genders and age groups, each with their own characteristic. Zhao Lei, however, managed to blend into the background as if he were invisible.

His most conspicuous quality was probably his inconspicuousness. With his average features, average stature, and average outfit, it would require extra attention to even realize his presence in the crowd.

Such people were usually marginalized in their workplaces. Fortunately, he was not your average employee.
