As the Laury kingdom's imposing silhouette rose before them in the twilight, the duplicate Jian Gang came to a halt. The majestic walls gleamed in the fading light, a formidable barrier protecting the secrets within.
"This is it," the duplicate announced, his voice echoing Jian Gang's with an edge of seriousness.
Alex, his gaze fixed on the kingdom, felt a knot of tension coil in his stomach. "Right… So, what's the plan?"
The duplicate Jian Gang remained silent for a moment, his green eyes flickering with uncertainty.
Alex, remembering the earlier incident, realized the duplicate was likely communicating with the real Jian Gang back in the residence. A wry smile tugged at Alex's lips. This whole situation, with a borrowed body and a delayed response system, was both frustrating and strangely amusing.
