The same afternoon.
After Du Wei had installed the mirror in his bathroom at home, he tidied up and went to Alex's house.
He planned to give his girlfriend a preemptive explanation before heading to Scolyn City, so he wouldn't get scolded later.
After all, when they were in St. Bodia the day before yesterday, he had promised Alex that he would absolutely not take any risks with his safety again.
Well... he needed to tell a simple lie.
...
Soon.
He arrived at Furman District.
Before entering the district, Du Wei had already noticed many unfamiliar faces around the neighborhood.
He watched those people, who nodded slightly at him in acknowledgement—it was clear they were underlings sent by Tom.
Their actions were swift.
At times, Du Wei's good friend Tom was reliable and didn't let him down at critical moments.
Tom had been saved by Du Wei, and Tom had helped Du Wei in return.
It was about human feelings, as well as the bonds of human relationships.
