Chapter 522

The female spy codenamed "North Wind" stepped out of the teleportation gate in a simple yet far-from-plain outfit.

Her attire had been deliberately chosen. It could display her cultural refinement while subtly making others feel kept at a distance, minimizing unnecessary dealings and contact as much as possible.
