At 11:22 p.m., the lights in the Heigang Building finally went out completely.
Three luxuriously decorated carriages were parked in front of the building.
By this time, the entire city had fallen into slumber, with only a few vagrants still searching through piles of rubbish on the roadside for necessities. The dim kerosene streetlights were sparsely located on both sides of the street, providing illumination for vehicles at night. In an era without electricity, activities after dark, whether for work or pleasure, incurred a greater cost than during the day.
In other words, only the four major companies within Magnificent Castle were busy until these hours.
Across from the building, in the opposite structure, Xue Quan and Dane were observing the enemy's every move with a telescope.
