No, no, I'm not here to conquer you, promise

As my vision cleared a bit more, I could see better.

My half-baked smile kind of vanished. 

The background noise dulled slightly but the horns and all that were still a nuisance.

We weren't just anywhere. We were in the middle of the bloody road and a four-way intersection no less. 

Every car had stopped, and people were staring, glaring, yelling, this and that and that.

The distinct smell of gasoline and maybe a bit of smoke irritated my nostrils. 

'Why still use primitive stuff like these?'

"What the hell indeed, kid, what the hell, indeed." The old man laughed.

Judging by the looks and the signs and all that- we were in the Southeast Asian region. 

I couldn't quite tell which country though.

"I'm pretty much exhausted, so it'd be hard for me to teleport. Let's get off the road and search for a place to stay in the meantime."
