Chapter 841 Someone Wants to Harm Dalton
Some people have speculated that the bad weather was due to the breaking of chains by the South–West corner that sealed the dragon away. The chains had been there since the founding of Cascadia.
The sky was layered with dark clouds as if there was some kind of fog there.
A group of people passing by began to chat. “Do you all know about the rumors of the alleyway behind the TV station building?”
“I do. People have claimed to feel like something was following them whenever it rained.”
“That’s right. One of my colleagues even caught a fever. His fever hasn’t gone down yet, and he keeps murmuring that he said the wrong answer.”
“Let’s hurry up and leave. There’s no need to wait until the afternoon. It sounds so creepy.”
“Mr. Diaz would not be passing by that alley, would he?”
“Even the employees from the building opposite ours would take the long route to avoid that alleyway, let alone Mr. Diaz.”
“That’s good then.”
It was likely that no one would go there.
However, it was much too soon to make such a conclusion as Dalton was currently heading toward that dark alleyway.
He seemed to have his eyes on the small shops at the other end of the alley. Due to his fair skin and black suit, he stood out despite standing in the rain while holding his black umbrella in one hand.
Although one could not see his face, one could still see his sharp jawline.
He was indeed weaker as he had felt slightly breathless after taking three steps. He exuded an air of coldness.
Someone had once said that Dalton should be used to society as he had been working in the business industry for so many years.
But Dalton always seemed disinterested in society. In fact, he always seemed detached about everything. let alone interested in society.
The alleyway was only 500 meters long, but it seemed to go on for miles and miles.
The rain continued to pour heavily. But the rain did not seem to be coming from the clouds above. It looked like it was coming from the ground as even the walls were covered with water.
Rainy seasons in the south would often be like that.
But they were in Kingbourne. Everyone who has been to Kingbourne would know that the city was dry and windy all year round. Such occurrences rarely happened.

As the fog began to spread, the alleyway seemed to be filled with people. However, no one could be seen and only the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard.
The further Dalton walked, the louder the footsteps were. The sound was seemingly creepy as it sounded. like it was following Dalton.
The night before, the employee that the group of people had mentioned had heard the same sound. Then, the employee caught a high fever and kept murmuring nonsense.
Most people would be terrified if they were forced to walk through an endless alleyway.
After all, Dalton had been walking for more than 10 minutes, yet he did not seem to have made any progress through the alleyway. His vision was also decreasing as the fog increased.
Anyone in his shoes would have been terrified, yet Dalton continued to walk ahead. He acted like he could not hear any sounds.
Suddenly, a man appeared at the corner up ahead.
It was a
man in his forties. He had a document bag in his hands and he looked like he worked as an IT person who had just spent the whole day at the office.
The man’s entire body was drenched, almost as if he had just come out of a lake.
When the man saw Dalton, he turned to face him. However, there was something indescribable about the
man’s eyes. They didn’t seem normal as there was a yellowish–brown hue to them. It was exceedingly
creepy.
“I was calling you from behind for so long. Why didn’t you turn around?”
The man’s voice sounded hoarse and eerie. He sounded like an animal and gave off a sense of unease.
Dalton paused. He pursed his lips and asked, “Are you talking to me?”
His voice was calm and impassive.
The man, Sothoth, had never encountered such a problem. He narrowed his eyes and stood before Dalton
in the blink of an eye.
Sticking out his oddly–shaped tongue, he asked, “Other than you, is there anyone else alive here?”
