Chapter 168 Marah Shows Up

• Marah walked carefully along the uneven, rocky path, her high heels making it even harder to balance. The slums were nothing like the city—filthy, chaotic, and filled with an unbearable stench. The summer heat only made it worse, intensifying the odor in the air. Wrinkling her nose in disgust, she covered it with her hand and mumbled under her breath, “What kind of hellhole is this?”
• She had recently found out that Adela used to live in this place. For the longest time, she had struggled to dig up any useful information about her, so she finally decided to come see for herself. But now, standing in the middle of this run-down neighborhood, Marah was genuinely shocked. She had never set foot in a place like this before—it was completely outside her world.
