Su'en and Mr. Mirror were selecting materials in a shop called "White Whale Alchemy," when suddenly the entire street fell silent. Pedestrians consciously avoided the sides, bowing their heads and not daring to look directly at the imposing group approaching.

The procession was grand, with a squad of guards in shining silver armor clearing the way, the leader holding chains that led two ice giant slaves, as if walking dogs.

In the center of the group was a fat man with a smug look, his chubby cheeks sagging into a double chin, his eyes squinting, weighing over three hundred pounds.

The nobles of the Luyin Empire could recognize them at a glance, not just by their pomp, but by their clothing.
