Tick-tock, tick-tock.
In the dark and damp sewer.
A faint sound of footsteps echoed in the deserted place.
Soon after, gentle ripples spread, and a figure wearing a black hood stepped out of the darkness.
Lifting the hood, it was Meng Xiaobei who had escaped in the chaos earlier.
"You're late."
Standing opposite Meng Xiaobei was another figure clad in a large black hood, completely wrapped in darkness. From the voice, one could tell he was male.
"I almost got caught! But the antique you gave me was really useful."
Meng Xiaobei recalled the previous scene and couldn't help but sigh.
It was Han Zhan.
A formidable figure famous throughout the Great Xia North County, the new leader of Great Xia.
Being able to hold him off for ten minutes, how powerful must such an artifact be?
"Did you get the item I wanted?" The person in the black hood did not respond to Meng Xiaobei but countered.
Meng Xiaobei shook his head. "I'm still two short."
