Chapter 292: Slaying Thieves
As with the other street districts, Elizabeth had rarely set foot on Dongtu Street before—especially not traveling this lightly.

Tianxiang Pavilion was a middleman bar with a solid reputation in the area, offering private booths exactly for this sort of business discussion.
Elizabeth, Judy, Yucheng, and a few security guards from the Former Wilderness Task Force stepped into the booth.
