Chapter 164
Bonte followed Hanna through the streets of Paarjo. His feline ears shifted on top of his head, picking up sounds around them.
Eternia and Perpetua bathed the world in their light still, and would continue to do so for a few more hours.
People walked next to them, minding their own business.
Going out for a walk without a Halve was a world of difference when it came to the attention Bonte received. Only one every twenty people gave him a passing glance, instead of nine out of ten staring at him with burning interest and curiosity.
He was one more Shishi Tigea among the many. An ordinary individual if one didn’t mind his level.
Or as he saw it, a shadow lurking behind the scenes. One that knew what most didn’t.
Bonte rejoiced in the feeling of being a secretive scout in a classified mission. To truly be the shadow that acts without others knowing. One that did his thing unnoticed and saved the day without being praised for it. Acting outside the law to do what it couldn’t. Dismantling dark organizations during the night and living a peaceful life during the day, acting as if he didn’t know what went down in the shadowy alleys of a city harboring unseen threats to the government.
The Ork turned around a corner, snapping the Tigea out of his fantasies.
They were approaching their destination.
Hanna turned again, walking into an alley between two tall edifices, then approached an unassuming door on the side of the left building. She looked both ways and opened the door, then held it open for Bonte to go in.
Once inside, they went up to the third floor, then walked to one of the many doors on the hallway.
