Chapter 1059

The area was as dark as a crypt, with only the weak glow of a distant streetlight casting an eerie light on the overgrown bramble bush in front, exposing a large indentation in the earth

Cedric stepped towards the brambles, bending over, his hands shaking as he pushed aside the prickly foliage
