He stood deep in the dungeon, his gaze sweeping the surroundings. Through the flickering firelight, he finally saw Pei Huaian not far away.
"The design of this cell is truly unique."
The newcomer remarked admiringly, then immediately turned his head to look at a certain spot and called out in a low voice, "Isn't that right, Fifth Prince?"
Pei Huaian lifted his eyes to look at the newcomer. He was dressed in a wide robe and wore a mask that covered his entire face tightly, making it impossible to discern his features.
"Who are you?"
The man's hoarse voice rose in the night, "I am of course the one who has taken the liberty of inviting the Fifth Prince to be our guest."
"Oh," Pei Huaian responded, not at all surprised.
The masked man took out a key to unlock the door of the cell and went in, sitting down unceremoniously.
"What exactly is your objective?"
"The Fifth Prince need not worry, I have no intention of harming you."
