Chapter 41: Disappearance

"I wonder how long this chaos will last."

Chen Mu muttered to himself.

In the past, his status was low and his understanding not deep enough. Now, as a Head Constable, he was able to chat casually with Min Baoyi and naturally knew much more.

For instance, places like Yu City had almost completely slipped from the control of the Imperial Court. The only reason a semblance of order was maintained was due to a tacit agreement among the major families of the Inner City.

The sky grew darker.

Chen Mu quickened his pace.

He wasn't particularly worried about encountering any danger, but as he swiftly traversed several streets, suddenly, a gray shadow flashed by, lunging towards his face.

Chen Mu reacted quickly, his hand drawing the Servant's Knife from its sheath in a swift motion, its blade slicing through the air. The gray shadow was split in half from the center, its blood splattering as it fell to the ground.

It turned out to be a giant gray-haired rat.
