A door unfolded before him.
Evil thrived, and whispers spilled from within.
The resentful compound eyes flickered and vanished, the presence longing to burst out was blocked inside, and the alluring murmurs echoed in the ear.

Lu Li stepped in, his stride resolute and unwavering.

The crowd waiting outside the City Hall hasn't dispersed.


This night party will have many important figures of Midnight City attending, including one of the founders of Midnight City, the Exorcist, Yenada Mathews.


After a while, the noise from outside the window grew louder.


Lu Li walked to the window and saw a carriage emblazoned with the crest of the most powerful Range Family in Midnight City stopping at the steps of City Hall.


It was actually a purebred horse, untouched by pollution.


The crowd was even more frenzied than when Lu Li arrived.


The identity of the arrival was obvious: Yenada Mathews.


Yenada Mathews, dressed in a black tailcoat, stepped down from the carriage. His neatly combed, brown-yellow hair, which might have been golden in his youth, contrasted with Lu Li's demeanor and was approachable and high spirited. With an amiable smile, he waved to everyone calling out to him as if meeting his supporters.
