Rumble—
A torrential downpour suddenly descended over Mu City.
The sky visibly darkened.
A Land Rover drove in from afar, its rugged tires crushing the puddles on the ground and splashing up sprays of water.
Li Yuan sat in the passenger seat. His hawk-sharp gaze pierced through the rain curtain, and directly ahead... a figure stood silently in the rain beneath a black umbrella, exceptionally tall.
Screech—
The Land Rover stopped. The window rolled down, and Li Yuan took a drag from his cigarette as he looked at the umbrella-bearing figure. "Choosing such a remote place, on a dark and windy night like this... if the negotiations fail, blood could easily be spilled."

He had come here after uncovering the mastermind behind the recent frequent attacks on their stations. After some negotiations, the other party had chosen Mu City for their meeting.

The other party was actually a foreigner!
Sakura Country had only just suffered a devastating blow, and the Earth Throne had changed hands outright.
At a time like this, what kind of decent people would foreign nationals daring to appear within the Xia Kingdom be?! Especially
