At this moment, the gates of Yan City were preparing to close. Generally, this was considered one of the busiest and most bustling times for the city. Unlike the bustling trade arenas during the day, the time from dusk until the curfew before midnight showcased another facet of Yan City's prosperity.
The taverns, gambling houses, brothels, and those shady underground auctions and trades all operated during this time. It seemed as if there was an unspoken agreement between major cities that after the gates closed and before the curfew, the city handed itself over to be governed by the underground order from a certain perspective.
The alley where Zuo Village was situated was unusually silent now. Not only this street, but it seemed like no pedestrians dared come near several nearby streets. This strange phenomenon made those within these streets even more vigilant, conscientiously staying in their homes, not daring even to peek outside.
