In the Enforcement Hall, a man in white stood by a pillar, his back turned and focused on the patterns on the column. His white clothing had some creases and blood stains, but with his sword-like eyebrows and upright nose bridge, it only accentuated his imposing presence and showed no signs of decadence.
As Ou Peng walked into the Enforcement Hall, he saw the man in white. Hearing Ou Peng, the man turned his head, and their gazes collided for a moment. Ou Peng stopped in his tracks, and the man in white stood still. After a brief standoff, they both averted their eyes. The man in white resumed looking at the boring patterns, while Ou Peng continued to walk and headed for the chair in the center of the hall.
Ou Peng sat down and silently watched the tall man in white, not speaking, seemingly deep in thought. The man in white didn't look directly at Ou Peng, and the air seemed to freeze.
