After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1560

Chapter 1560: A Pre-Wedding Reunion

Veronica and the team immediately started to come up with a plan, ideally one that could hit multiple stones at once.

Moving in a City was much too dangerous, after all, and if they were going to make a move, most of them should be finished within a few steps, lest someone notice them.

The wedding was scheduled to be held in 5 days (word on the street was that Lia’s fiance was beaten up quite badly), so they had a few days to get them here.

For this, they’d need help from the family already inside—Margaery. However, it wasn’t nearly as straightforward as they wanted.

It was too risky to have Veronica go to the Lord’s Palace—regardless of whether she had a cover—because any interactions Margaery received were probably monitored.

Even if it wasn’t, it was likely because the Lord wanted to show his nonchalance to the Golds in general, but the people around him could still be watching.

So if the interaction was closely followed by the family’s disappearance, then this would likely lead them to Veronica somehow.

Fortunately, there were other ways, even if they did take a bit longer.

Hassen City, a day later

The currently black-haired Silva looked at the platform in front of him. His eyebrows rose.

He clicked ’Yes’ and saw the letter was relatively untouched and unopened. It seemed like this letter hadn’t captured interest, for now.

He heaved a sigh of relief and went to find a restaurant with private stalls to have his breakfast as he read. Still, while he read, his mind couldn’t help but shift to the party.

He felt a little worried and guilty, recalling the look of recognition in Esstia’s eyes. He had hoped she wouldn’t recognize him. It had been so long, after all.

After the party, he immediately sent a letter back to Alterra, reporting—in code—everything he had seen... as well as the fact that he could’ve been compromised.

It was his oversight, and he felt extremely ashamed of it.

There were naturally a lot of considerations when the Golds (and Alterra, as it was a mission that could affect them) chose him for this mission.

The advantages of choosing him were that his level was good and would fit the level requirement of city guards.

Another was that he was from the City himself, so he naturally knew many of the customs. While there were a lot of differences between cities, at least he didn’t have to start from scratch in his adjustment.

The risk was that there was a small chance of his getting recognized. However, it was not big because even while he worked under the Golds—Otto, in particular—he was assigned to the caravans, so he wasn’t typically associated with them.
