A plaque hung in the great hall, bearing three large, sharp-looking characters—
Law Enforcement Hall!
Fang Cheng lowered his Escape Light and walked to the front of the hall. Just as he was about to speak, the hall's doors opened silently. A woman sat cross-legged within, her gaze, sharp as a sword, falling upon him.
An alarm flared in Fang Cheng's mind, as if he were being watched by a ferocious beast. His brow furrowed involuntarily, and he halted his steps, meeting her gaze.
The woman wore a simple black gauze robe. Her expression was aloof and cold, her fair cheeks devoid of emotion. Her long, elegant eyebrows slanted upward toward her temples, lending her an air of intense, murderous intent.
Only then did Fang Cheng realize that this woman was the very source of the Law Enforcement Hall's oppressive aura.
"You are Fang Cheng?" the woman asked coolly.
