Following the owner's directions, Duanmu Huai found the pet shop in Chinatown.
"This place doesn't look all that great."
Looking at the pet shop before him, Duanmu Huai frowned. Unlike the other pet shops, big and small, this one was located underground in Chinatown. Its entrance was tightly shut, making it look more like an underground warehouse.
What kind of pets could a place like this have?
Could this be some kind of shady shop?
