Chapter Twenty-Three: The Sky Cavalry

“Master Fan, is what Night Crow said just now true?”

More than twenty victims, including the lame man, surrounded Fan Nang, their gazes burning with hope and suspicion.

“You actually believe the words of those thieves? Hurry up and help me up! When the Sky Cavalry arrives, I’ll…” Gaining confidence in front of a crowd of commoners, Fan Nang’s tone grew forceful again.
