The next day.
6:00 a.m.
Parc Saint-Nicolas.
A smartly dressed man in a standard black pinstriped three-piece suit sat in a small boat traveling along the Maine River, which flowed through downtown Angers. The river was formed by the confluence of three tributaries: the Mayenne, the Sarthe, and the Loir.
Hazy mist veiled the buildings on either side of the Maine River like gauze. An unusually thick fog had descended on Angers today.

Night relaxed his guard a little, but he still used [Shifeile]'s cloud and mist control to thicken the shroud around Parc Saint-Nicolas. A strange sight emerged: the mist within Parc Saint-Nicolas grew extraordinarily dense, as though a gigantic cup of fog had been placed over it.
The thick fog surrounding Parc Saint-Nicolas reflected the sunlight from above into a blank expanse of white. A layer of moisture covered all the park's public facilities, and the temperature inside began to plummet. Chilly winds swept through the entire park.
