Chapter 1116

Thursday, Crystal Palace, Dome Stadium.

This massive venue, large enough to hold thirty thousand people, stood in the core area of the Crystal Palace’s second ring. There were still nine full hours before the evening concert began, yet the outer plaza was already packed.

A dark sea of people stretched from the stadium entrance all the way to the edge of the scenic walkway. Some sat directly on the ground, some leaned against the railings and scrolled through their phones, while more gathered in small groups, talking animatedly. The air was filled with all kinds of languages, all kinds of accents, and a kind of excitement that could not be suppressed.
