The Plan
Song Qian Long brought me to the control room once more, and many gazes fell on me as soon as we entered.
"Oh, it's you again. Welcome, my boy," the mayor, Zhou Qian, said with a warm smile unfit for the situation we were currently in.
I recognized everyone present from my previous excursion here...with the exception of two people. They were both eyeing me haughtily, a look of contempt on their faces.
"Huh? Who is this kid?" one of them asked. He had a flabby complexion, to put it nicely...to put it not-so-nicely, he really needed some working out to do if he came here as a soldier, ready to fight.
Zhou Qian stood up. "Allow me to introduce this boy. His name is Xuan Kai. He was the one who allowed us to have this time in advance to prepare for the incoming second phase of the Midnight Syndicate's invasion."
