11:45 PM.
The clamor was gradually fading away.
Everything quieted down.
A few officers from the Security Bureau still stood guard outside.
But Shen Ye had already passed three assassination trials and earned the "Blood Waste" entry.
No more assassinations would occur, so he could finally get a good night's sleep.
Yet, he didn't sleep.
The events of tonight were far from over.
For instance—
"Surprised to see me?"
The young man sitting across from him spoke.
Dim light illuminated his face.
Zhang Xiaoyi.
This former classmate, now bearing an entirely different presence, even spoke much more slowly.
"So late at night... why'd you suddenly show up?" Shen Ye asked.
"We're brothers, aren't we? How could I not come?" Zhang Xiaoyi fired back.
He pointed vaguely at the air above Shen Ye's head and continued:
"You've already obtained an entry, meaning your silence period is essentially over."
Shen Ye nodded, waiting for him to continue.
