Chương 21: Maxim's Pov: Hidden Passage

After walking for a couple of hours, Maxim finally reached the main road. He was dripping wet, but that didn't bother him. He was rather grateful that he still had a job when he returned to the city. 

"This rain… when will it stop?" Maxim muttered in exhaustion. His body was trembling with cold as he hugged himself to get warm even a little bit.

Maxim put his head down as he slowly walked to the side of the road. Getting close to the city's borders would take him a while, but he was okay with it. 

"Ah! I'm hungry, too!" Maxim exclaimed out loud. He was confident no one could hear him as he was alone on the road and his stomach grumbled as he hadn't eaten his breakfast before leaving. 

After thirty minutes of walking, Maxim could finally see the borders from afar. He was delighted as he was getting closer.
