Chapter 83 An Unexpected Meeting (Part One) (1/2)
The crowd was beginning to lose its minds, pushing and shoving like a bunch of lunatics. Initially, there were a very few people rushing towards the star. But now, an entire legion was gathering around.
The South Street Alley was a popular destination for shopping for assured quality products at affordable prices. At night, it would turn into the busiest markets of the city, which would serve delicious foods and attract a multitude of customers.
Already packed during normal situations, when Park Shin Chun showed up, it was a total mess which no one could have controlled.

”Thank you! You're okay too, right?”
Molly looked up to make sure her rescuer herself was safe. Looking at her, she found that it was an elegant, beautiful woman, whose face seemed to hide her age. Her eyes were large like a galaxy, bright and enticing. Molly felt like she could talk just through
