Meanwhile, while the two soldiers were still talking to one another, the subject of their conversation was already walking briskly out of sight. He made sure to walk fast, but not so fast that it was suspicious.
Those who were looking at him had just seen him with the soldiers and concluded that he was just trying to get as far away from them as possible. A very understandable reaction, since everyone there knew about the actions of the soldiers.
The incident was quickly forgotten as people continued going about their business. Meanwhile, the man in question, after he had retreated a sufficient distance away, slowed his pace. His steps were now lighter and smoother. His posture straightened a bit as he quickly started making his way back to the city.
A faint smirk tugged on his lips as he had successfully accomplished his goal. Who was this mysterious man? Of course, it was Adrian. He had just successively deceived everyone there.
