Even though it was the middle of the night, the study of Deciduous County's Governor was brightly lit. A thin but tall man sat behind the lavish desk in the study. He rubbed his eyes as he put away another stack of papers.
He had the same dark brown eyes and sharp jawline as the City Lord Zhen. The healthy glow of his skin showed that the many night shifts and lack of sleep didn't affect him at all.
"Governor, we have news from Birch City!"
His aide shouted from the door while rushing into the study. Governor Zhen looked up energetically, all traces of tiredness disappearing from his eyes. He hastily snatched the letter from the servant's hands and opened it.
"We succeeded."
Reading the two words, a smile bloomed on his face. He snapped his fingers, and a tiny ember formed on his fingertips that set the letter on fire.
He closed his eyes as he reminisced about the formulation of the plan they had set in motion.
