The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

After they left, the hidden observer made a call. "Your Highness! Harmony Clinic threw one of their prisoners into Corpse Town. Nothing else unusual."

Such punishment was not uncommon, so the observer paid little attention to the black bags they had put on the prisoner. "Okay. Keep watching!"

On the other end, Julian wouldn't ask further questions. As long as Felix didn't appear, nothing else mattered. With time, he must have died inside.

In Corpse Town, the condemned prisoner huddled in an alley, trembling and afraid to move. This was Corpse Town, after all.

Soon, a woman approached. "Handsome, do you want some relief?"

Seeing her beauty, wearing only a sheer red dress, the prisoner's fear diminished. "When... When did you get here? What dangers are in this place?"

"Pack your things! We're leaving to reclaim Martial City!"

Dean gestured grandly. Never in his life had he felt such humiliation. His rage had reached indescribable levels.

Everyone looked.

In the courtyard corner stood an old man with two large bags, trembling as he stared at them. "Are you human or ghosts?"
