Through the sheer gauze curtains, Ran Chen could faintly see another person not far off, also bound in chains.
He couldn't make out the man's face, but the silhouette alone told him this was yet another man abducted by the City Lord of Flame Demon City.
The night grew ever more desolate.
The faint sounds of conversation drifted from the Demon Clan members guarding the door.
"Hey, did you see the new one?"
"I saw him. I've never seen a man that gorgeous in my entire life."
"Is he even real? You sure we're not hallucinating?"
One of the Demon Clan members asked doubtfully, his voice filled with excitement.
Then, a scoff was heard.
"He's been tied up and brought here, so of course he's real."
"I thought the one named Ran Chen was already a once-in-a-lifetime find."
"But who would've thought this new one would show me what 'unearthly beauty' truly means. Seriously, he's in a league of his own."
As he spoke, a faint note of pity crept into his voice.
