Eastern City.
Early morning.
"Ding-a-ling~"
The alarm clock rang.
Anthony rubbed the sleepiness from his eyes and reached over to turn off the phone alarm clock beside his pillow.
He gazed at the hotel room ceiling, his eyes filled with confusion.
Where is this place?
Anthony blinked, his mind gradually coming back online, recalling that this wasn't his hometown Yilete, but the far-off Eastern City.
He sat up from the bed and muttered softly, "I can't sleep anymore, I must investigate Eastern City today."
This was the board's requirement.
In three days, he had to present a report to the board, otherwise, he might lose this well-paying job.
Anthony rolled out of bed and walked to the bathroom in slippers.
He stared at himself in the mirror and soon noticed the puffy bags under his eyes and the tiny blood vessels.
He hadn't slept well last night.
Because the alarm rang twice in the middle of the night.
