I quickly texted back a message to Song Qian Long.
[Where are they? How much longer before they get to the safe zone?]
After a short silence, I finally received a reply.
[Kai Kai...you should get away from the city. Now.]
[What? What do you mean?]
[...The second phase of the invasion is far stronger than the first. The reinforcements from the other cities have already arrived and we are discussing a strategy right now, but...it's only a matter of time before this city falls.]
Damn it...he's not telling me anything useful like what exactly the Midnight Syndicate has sent, or the scale of the invasion...nothing. All he's telling me to do is run away? Where would I even run to?
Heh...maybe I should've taken Ming Hao up on his offer, but...too late for regrets.
[Where are you right now?]
[Why?]
[I want to talk to you in person.]
Heya guys! Cyclxne here.
In this chapter, the second phase has begun! I lied; there wasn't any actual action in this chapter, but uh...well, at least things are becoming tense once more, so brace yourselves.
I'll be introducing some more characters in the next chapter, albeit some pretty minor ones. They'll probably die or something in this volume, not sure yet...oops, spoiler? Eh, not really. They aren't important.
Anyway, that's all from me for now!
And as always, I'll see you guys in the next chapter~
