Chapter 2368



Just as Colin left to carry out his assignment, Nathan spotted Kylie peeping in his direction.

She came out, smiling cheekily. "Nathan, are you free tonight?" she asked, darting a playful gaze around.

while the others dressed more formally. However, Nathan noticed something queer: A few of the foreigners were wearing clothes that looked rather old-fashioned and not fitted to their bodies. Even though those garments were branded,
