"I'm here."
At the exit of the Clown Theater, a figure in a black-and-gold trench coat leaned against the doorframe, a black ebony cigar pinched between his fingers as he toyed with a lighter.
Xiao Chuan, whom he had been holding earlier, had long since vanished.
Jiang Qing and the others froze. How could Mr. Bai move freely!?
They tried to stand, only to be forced back into their seats by an invisible power.
"Mr. Bai, can't you feel that suppressive force?"
"Suppress me?" The corner of Bai Ye's lips curled in disdain. He said nothing more, but anyone could sense his contempt for the Abyss.
Yet that very contempt put Jiang Qing and the others somewhat at ease.
As expected of Mr. Bai!
"Big Brother!" Little Tangerine excitedly waved her tiny arms from her seat, then hopped down and ran all the way to Bai Ye's side.
Jiang Qing and the others stared in disbelief, as though they had seen a ghost.
Mr. Bai was powerful, so it was one thing for him to break free from the restraints. But what was going on with a New Human like her?!
At the center of the stage, the Clown's ridiculous performance continued. He rode a unicycle while juggling three balls, and scattered applause rang out from below. Clearly, the audience was not very enthusiastic.
Bai Ye swept his gaze across the audience and quickly spotted a special spectator—a young girl in a white dress.
Unlike the indistinct figures around her, the girl was remarkably clear and real. Her face overflowed with joy as she applauded nonstop, her palms reddening from the clapping.
The girl was none other than Yiyi.
Bai Ye shook his head helplessly. "Such a cliché love story."
He did not even need to see what came next
