Chapter 1

Governor Reif Kawat, the second mining director of the Northwest Republic, stood under a lush tree about two miles from Pyroxene Town and overlooked the northeast of the road. Beside him, there were tables and chairs that were placed here temporarily, along with a silver box on the table.

"Clito has sent me emails through the temple before saying that he will be back today. Why hasn't he shown up since it's already evening?" Reif waited for a long time, but Clito still did not appear. He could not help but frown and complain. "It's all right that he has wasted half of my day. Anyway, I'm on vacation today, and I have nothing to do. But he still has not shown up; the fish meat will probably melt!"

Just then, he saw a carriage emerge from the end of the road and come briskly along the way.
