A door unfolded before him.
Evil thrived, and whispers spilled from within.

Lu Li had no coffee and tea, but he had plenty of newspapers.

However, the plaintiff named a nobleman, claiming it was under his instructions—suddenly, the situation shifted from entertainment news to a political conspiracy. It seemed that Joseph would continue to appear in the newspapers for a while, competing for headlines with the Immortal Giant.


The proportion of murder cases was higher than usual, yet Lu Li saw no news related to Dwarf Gold Town.
