Chapter 13 The Second Assembly

Cherie put on her mask and entered the Hind Bookshop.

Today, yet another meeting was set to unfold here.

Compared to the last time, Cherie seemed much more at ease this round. She arrived early, looked around, and chose a relatively spacious corner to sit down. Before long, Cherie sensed someone approaching her. Upon closer inspection, it was Clara.
