Elorcia City, the heart of the Kingdom, was basking in the afternoon sunlight at this moment.
Inside the towering city walls, the wide stone-paved streets were bustling with people and vehicles.
The hustle and bustle sharply contrasted with the bedraggled condition after several days of wilderness trek.
The residence granted to Jeming by Ottolek III was located in the middle-class nobility district of the Royal Capital. Though not luxurious, it occupied a considerable area with all the necessary pavilions and towers.
The main gate of the residence was tightly shut, seemingly calm, yet in some unknown corners, a few pairs of eyes were keeping a close watch on every move inside the house through barely detectable surveillance arrays.
These were surveillance personnel dispatched by the Royal Palace.
In their view, this "Lord Jack" had a mysterious background and extraordinary abilities. Although His Majesty the King praised him greatly, there was never any relaxation in vigilance.
