The vast Anshan City was of deathly stillness.
On the streets, not even a shadow of a person or a ghost could be seen. The shops along the road had their doors tightly closed, with occasional whispers heard.
"It seems quiet outside, should we go check it out?"
"Are you crazy? What if something bad happens? What can we do with our small bodies?"
"True, but what happened anyway? Why is there such a big commotion at the City Lord's Mansion?"
"How would I know? We shouldn't worry about things that don't concern us. Even if the sky falls, there are taller ones to hold it up."
"But what if the tall ones can't hold it up?"
"Then we all perish together."
Chen Fan reached the door of the Awakened Association and knocked. Only then did someone cautiously come to open it.
"Brother Chen, did you just come back from outside the city?"
asked the person who opened the door.
"Yes, why?" Chen Fan replied with a smile.
