In a Town far far South of Voumi Town was Uber Town. This was a place not too far from Jacoba Town, located somewhere East of it.
Uber Town was one of the Towns in the fertile belt, and its citizens were relatively well-off… at least until about a month ago.
At this time, a few commoners were huddled together in the living room of their home, all looking pale.
It was a family of seven, an old woman, two middle-aged men, and one of their wives, as well as some younger folk in their 20s.
Other than being a family, there was also another similarity between them: they all had pale and dry complexions, massive eye bags, and a general dark atmosphere around them.
They were antsy and itchy, scratching their own skins to alleviate the discomfort they were feeling.
"What is that brat taking so long to send us anything?" one of the middle-aged men asked.
"Why are you asking me? That's your son," the other snapped. "Is he rebelling?! Shame."
