The others stayed behind but Victor later excused himself and secretly followed them.
From a good distance, he watched as they ascended a quiet, lesser-used trail around the western edge of the estate.
High walls surrounded this part. Vines crawled across white stone walls, and cherry trees swayed in the breeze. The air smelled faintly of lavender and peach.
A secluded pavilion appeared, shaped like a crescent moon. It's roof was designed with peacock motifs. Two women in white stood by the gate. Qin Fei waved his badge, and they bowed.
"You two wait here," Qin Fei voiced while turning to the lackeys. "This visit is… personal."
Victor watched from behind a bush half the size of a grown adult.
The moment Qin Fei stepped in and the gates closed, Victor activated his [Shadow Blink] technique and appeared atop a nearby tiled roof with utter silence.
He used a sliver of void qi to conceal his presence and peered through the gaps in the upper wooden lattice.
