Tianjin, starting with unorthodox methods to achieve immortality

Meanwhile, in the Japanese concession.

The Hou family's residence is located just a hundred steps east of the intersection of Miyajima Street and Akashi Road, a secluded courtyard in a quiet oasis amidst the bustling city.

The rules in this area are different from those in the Chinese-controlled areas.

The road surface was bluish-gray asphalt, much smoother than the dirt roads in the Chinese-controlled area.

A black sedan stopped in front of the Hou family's house. The door opened, and a blond foreigner wearing a black robe stepped out.

He was in his forties, with a high nose bridge and slightly downturned lips, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay.

This person was none other than Joseph, whom Chen Mo could never forget.

.......

Hou Zhenyue, the head of the Hou family, sat in a grand chair, holding a teacup in his hand, but did not drink.

The tea is top-quality Lion Peak Longjing, heated to the perfect temperature, and the temperature is just right when you hold it in your hand.

"May I ask what brings Mr. Joseph to our Hou family's residence?"

The person opposite did not touch the tea.

Joseph sat in the guest seat, a smile playing on his lips as always.

"Mr. Hou, I met a young man a few days ago who used a kind of shadow manipulation magic similar to the one your family uses."

Hou Zhenyue looked up, a hint of surprise on his face. "Oh?"

"His spell is quite powerful." Joseph paused slightly, seemingly considering his words, "and it's impervious to my physical attacks..."

Hou Zhenyue listened quietly, his thumb resting on the rim of his teacup.
