"I've already heard about your deeds from Miss Mona. You are a gentleman worthy of respect... You once saved Amber City and have devoted yourself to maintaining its peace and stability... I imagine you have no connection to Akbin."
He walked over and extended his hand, looking slightly apologetic.
"On behalf of my team members, I apologize."
"Captain!"
Leslie and the other two widened their eyes.
Chen Lun glanced at the middle-aged man with brown hair and sensed a trace of danger from him.
He's a [Sequence 5] powerhouse... I shouldn't clash with him here.
Chen Lun deactivated his Standard State, shook his hand briefly, and said:
"Since you've put it that way, Mr. Talleyrand, I won't pursue the matter."
He had no intention of lingering any longer and raised his hand in a gesture.
Talleyrand tactfully stepped back and moved out of his way.
Chen Lun walked a few steps past him, then stopped and turned back to offer a reminder:
"I don't know what Akbin's intentions really are, but the Red Apple Church is a more likely suspect for the plague outbreak... Whether you believe that is for you to judge."
With that, he adjusted his Black Hat and walked straight out.
Talleyrand raised a hand to stop Leslie from speaking and silently watched that tall, slender figure retreat, his gaze deep.
Chen Lun walked down the street and looked up at the sky.
