Keira froze for a moment.

She hadn't expected Jessica to actually encourage her to go out.

While Keira was still processing this, Jessica gave her hand a light pat before turning and leaving the room.

Keira paced around the room, restless.

She turned on the TV, only to find that the selection of shows and movies was shockingly sparse. Almost everything was local productions, as if there was a deliberate effort to limit the city's residents from learning about the outside world.

And the city was run with an iron grip.

There was a strict curfew at night, and people were only allowed to move freely during the day.

At night, soldiers patrolled the streets. It looked like a modern society at first glance, but the way it was managed felt more like a feudal kingdom.

The South family ruled as if they were sovereigns, and the people's reverence for them bordered on blind worship. Nobody seemed to have their own thoughts—they just obeyed.
