Inside the Cozy Book Haven, a young man dressed in a suit was confronting a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties.
The young man wore a cold expression, intently staring at the middle-aged man across from him. Without emotion, he asked, "Being a Soulmancer, what business do you have entering someone else's premises in broad daylight?"
The middle-aged man let out a strange chuckle and said, "New York's spiritual energy is surging, especially around Hudson University. Soulmancers from around the world are converging here. I came to look for my good-for-nothing apprentice. I haven't harmed any ordinary people. Isn't the 13th Bureau overstepping its boundaries?"
