"Brother Qiyan, you actually have friends even in a place like this? That's amazing."
"You're overthinking it. I lied to him."
"Huh?"
Zhao Lin's face was full of question marks. Nothing he had said earlier had sounded like a lie. She had genuinely believed Ye Qiyan had a friend here who could take them back.
"Silly. We're the newest batch of Train Conductors, and we only arrived in this world less than a month ago. Where would we meet anyone from the highest levels of the City of a Thousand Stars? Just think about it. It's impossible."
"Uh... haha... right... you don't know them..."
Ye Qiyan's matter-of-fact words only made Zhao Lin laugh awkwardly.
He didn't know anyone from the upper ranks of the City of a Thousand Stars, but he knew Solo City's chief judge, that female charlatan who looked powerful at a glance, and that older woman called Monrojina, right?
No matter how she looked at them, those people seemed more powerful and higher in status than the upper ranks here.
"Then how do we get back?"
Her train was still down below. So much had happened in less than half a day. That golden man could blast apart streets with casual attacks. If he went all out, he could probably destroy this entire City of a Thousand Stars.
Had she not known this was her Lucky Station, she would have found somewhere to hide long ago, then fled when the time was nearly up.
"No rush."
Ye Qiyan gazed at the sky-piercing tower before him.
"I want to go inside and take a look."
The Central Gate of the Tower of Babel. Since he had obtained that card and happened to arrive here through a series of coincidences, wouldn't it be a shame not to go inside
