Chapter 543 Late Night Visit

Mark slipped out the bar's back door.

The night was pitch black, and the streets were eerily quiet.

His steps were heavy, his mind racing with a whirlwind of thoughts.

Dean's plan felt like a ticking time bomb, ready to blow at any moment.

He had spent his whole life in Emerald City. Where could he possibly run to?

Mark took a deep breath, trying to figure out his next move.
