Inside the public square and right before a statue of Arthur was erected, a man in casual clothes but with a mask stood. His presence drew the attention of everyone around him. Although they could see his unblemished skin, the mask gave him an eerie, almost funny, vibe.
Julia entered the square while panting, and she found Li in an instant because everyone was pointing at him. As she saw how he was dressed, she thought it couldn't be him. But how many people would wear a tree mask?
Li spotted her in the crowd almost instantly, and he came forward with confident strides. Julia wanted to surprise him, but he seemed capable of finding her rather easily, even though she looked nothing like usual.
"Greetings, Miss Julia," he spoke with formality while bowing to her. "I must say that these eyes have never seen a beauty such as yours. You look breathtaking."
