Dragoon Evaluation Begins

There was no room for excuses. Shane walked right up to Deng Wen on the spot and invited that man for a cup of tea at the 29th Place.

Everyone sucked in a cold breath of air. Tea at the 29th Place was not good to drink. It looked like Dark Soul was determined to hold out for Xia Fei, which was very strange. Xia Fei was not very old, and was hardly some scion from a reputable clan. He lacked any backing to speak of, so why would 29th Place display such an attitude for him?

At that moment, the entire Furnace Citadel erupted into a disquieted commotion. Some took the opportunity to rile up some antagonistic emotions toward the 29th Place, but unfortunately the notoriety of Dark Soul was simply too great, and few rallied to the call. No one truly dared to stand out and go up against the Secret Service; at most they just muttered a few words under their breath.
