Walker Of The Worlds

Currently, in front of the town center, an entire crowd of people was standing. Along the sides of the crowd, squads of guards were standing fully decked in their gear looking ready for anything.

The crowd was standing in silence which was surprising to him as this hardly happened when such a large group of people gathered together. The people in the crowd seemed to be focused on the town center and seemed to be waiting for something.

A few more people slowly added to the crowd as they reached there from the various parts of the town. Feeling confused at this development, Lin Mu spread his spirit sense around and started scanning the crowd.

In a small surprise to him, he found the mute Ming brothers standing at the front of the crowd along with a few of the mercenaries they had taken with them. Not understanding what was happening he decided to go and talk with them.

Lin Mu waded through the crowd and reached the front of it, right where the mercenaries were standing. The people grunted and chided in displeasure at being moved around but didn't do anything. Lin Mu didn't pay them any mind either.

The Ming Brothers noticed him and felt a little surprised themselves. They poked a mercenary that was standing along with them to talk with Lin Mu. This mercenary evidently knew who Lin Mu was as he cupped his hands in greeting.

"Greetings Sir Lin Mu." The mercenary greeted Lin Mu.

The other mercenaries too did the same thing upon seeing their companion do so. This turned into a wave of greetings that spread among the ten or so mercenaries that were present there.

There was no chance that the people standing in the crowd wouldn't notice this, especially when they were standing in silence all this while. The people also heard the sounds of greetings and wondered if it was someone important that had appeared.

Knowing that this could turn problematic Lin Mu immediately gestured to the Ming brothers to silence the others. They having understood the implications of this, acted on it, and silenced the mercenaries.

Lin Mu then came forward and stood in front of them.

"What is happening here?" Lin Mu questioned.

"The High official is going to announce their decision to the crowd." Said the mercenary who had been instructed by the Ming brothers.

"And what is this decision?" Lin Mu questioned, guessing about the possibilities.

The mercenary looked around and made sure that no one else was listening before speaking in a low voice.
