"Miss Lan had an incident in Korea, and it seems she was even arrested by the Korean government. Have you all heard about this?"
Shenzhou.
Capital City.
The foremost among the world's five great palaces.
The Forbidden City.
As the royal palace of two dynasties, it remains grandiose, but its authority has long been obliterated in the torrents of history. Places where once only the nobility clad in crimson and purple could tread are now open to the public, bustling with tourists.
"I heard about it. It seems like the Gold Sea Corporation got dragged into it as well. Those Koreans really lack education."
A few young men strolled and chatted casually, dressed plainly without any luxury brands on them, yet their speech and demeanor showed an air of nobility not common amongst ordinary folks.
Every now and then, beautiful women dressed as palace maids passed by.
Tourists discussed and took photos.
But these men weren't distracted in the slightest and paid no attention.
