Chapter 324
Elijah and Lance searched everywhere, finally finding the men in a secluded corner of the backyard, engrossed in a card game. They were so absorbed that they did not even notice Elijah and Lance approaching.

Nathaniel hesitated and sighed softly, “Nana, there’s an issue with the Special Investigation Department, and I must leave Farlem. I don’t know when we’ll meet again.”
