Man With Super Medical Skill novel Chapter 3465

At eight o'clock at night, outside Governor's Keep, the night sky was dark, yet the entrance to the Keep was as bright as day. Hundreds of floodlights illuminated the once-deserted Governor's Keep. The Keep, which had been abandoned and gathering dust for years, was now cleaned to a spotless shine and restored to its former grandeur.

As Allyson appeared, all eyes turned to her.
