With a Smiley Mask this effective, Jiang Lin had no intention of following his old plan. It would alert his targets too soon. Infiltrating them and changing the story from within would be much easier.
Besides, he wanted to experience what it was like to hide his strength, then stun everyone who underestimated him.
His next destination was clear: Shrek Academy!
Jiang Lin deliberately slowed down to enjoy the city sights. Two hours passed before he reached the outskirts and spotted a crude stone arch in the distance. Vines crawled over it, and the words "Shrek Academy" were scrawled across it in crooked letters.
A little way beneath the arch stood a makeshift canopy sheltering two worn wooden tables. Behind them stood a middle-aged man with loose white hair.
