Alina naturally soon noticed the reactions of the people on the watchtower of Storm City.
Her heart grew even more uneasy.
The reaction of the Storm City Soldiers didn't seem like a welcome.
She felt that if they got any closer, these guards would release their arrows.
However, Alina quickly noticed an unusual change in Storm City. The City Guards, who had initially appeared tense and ready for battle, suddenly put away their crossbows and looked at them calmly. The city gates, usually closed at night due to the curfew, now clicked open.
A burly figure appeared at the city gate. It was Taskum, who had helped Chen Mo collect one thousand eternal gold coins in taxes that very day under a clever pretext.
Chen Mo had initially planned to come personally, but after considering Kahn's persona, he decided to send someone to meet them instead.
