Chen Mu had asked Jia Tian to find someone to cover his shift, thinking it would take quite a while.
Yet just three days later, Jia Tian appeared before him with a burly man.
The man looked rough and imposing, but his temperament was gentle and mild. Back in mortal Dagan, he had worked as a keeper of archives, protecting and organizing documents and classics. Being a mere Collator would be effortless for him.
After confirming that the handover would take place the next day, the burly man took his leave. His manners were proper and courteous, creating quite a contrast with his massive build.
