Chapter 4

Just as Shaman Lande was feeling nervous and secretly praying to the ancestral spirits for nothing to go wrong, Sui Xiong had already strolled into a tavern.

The Manor of Samat had an entirely different style from Keane Hill. Keane Hill was a town mainly agriculture-based with business as supplementary. A majority of the city's inhabitants were either rich farmers or small businessmen, or veterans who had already retired from the army. The entire city gave a rather quiet and warm vibe—this was probably because, for two decades, the city had been under the rule of a gentle and soft-spoken couple. The lord and his wife were people who relished in the idea of quiet and peaceful lives. On the other hand, the inhabitants from the Manor of Samat consisted mainly of adventurers, businessmen, and soldiers of service. These people were more ambitious. They were full of vigor and vitality, yet they were also more vicious and uncouth.
