After two and a half hours of driving, Aurora finally arrived outside the Penglai Inn in Shaniola Town.
She parked the car, stepped out, and stood quietly for a moment, watching the lively crowd inside the inn.
The weather had cleared up again.
It reminded her of those long rainy days back in Country S, when the skies would suddenly turn bright and sunny without warning.
People looked cheerful. It was already 7:30 PM, and they were enjoying their evening—savoring good food, relaxing, peaceful, and happy.
But Aurora knew she wasn't here for any kind of happiness tonight. She was about to meet the mysterious figure—someone who could be cruel, ruthless, unpredictable. She had no idea what to expect.
Maybe she would be killed. Maybe worse.
Aurora frowned slightly, but forced herself to walk inside.
Whatever the outcome, she couldn't let Everett suffer because of her.
