Chapter 40
Vann heard about the arrivals from Astar from nearly everyone he ran into that day.
He hadn’t met them, didn’t want to.
So while those who were excused from the gemeng demonstration due to injuries still showed up to gawk at the new arrivals, Vann was busy by the bay. He didn’t feel the need to see an Astarian gemeng fight the submariners. How stupid was that? As if they didn’t know about gemengs in Coastside. It was a joke.
Right now he was leaning against the railing, his gaze locked on Dr Ralis’ villa.
It didn’t look any different.
The fact that the Astarians had gone in last night and evicted Dr Ralis and his daughter and confiscated all their possessions, well, you couldn’t tell from here.
