Salute To The General

With its mottled walls that were covered in vines and the cobwebs that could be seen hanging everywhere, Black Swan Castle was a terrifying sight to behold. From the castle's windows, candlelight could be seen flickering inside, and the sound of a piano could be heard coming out from one of the rooms intermittently. Creak!

Nathan raised his hand and pushed open the iron fence gate.

After that, he walked into the place unhurriedly, almost as if he was simply taking a stroll in his own backyard.

Figures could be seen flickering in and out behind Nathan.

The next moment, a dozen men in tuxedos appeared behind him.

The door to the castle was shut with a bang, closing off Nathan's escape route.
