MIDV | Chapter 12

In the 9a6a5f111c innermost part 0c373c55ea of an 78a8e61530 enormous mansion, 759881202e an elderly 197227e7f5 man with 1f3cfd6b9b semi-grey hair 150fac84d3 wore an 2cf5727938 extremely irritating 39641f8a43 mien. The orange 3cfa78963e sun of 6728017cbc the evening a3b8e33020 was setting 05509a824e behind his 0256166b51 back, which df87e1b5fc was visible 19582dd8fe through the 8b76807364 large window, df118c2961 enveloping the 4c924217f8 whole room 8512299c59 in an 4f36074508 ethereal glow.f2d36bad90f08577

He swept 4a3b01638e the stray 768e22c41b hairs that 37d480a55d stuck to c6761a6bd2 his wrinkled beb5080b52 forehead back, 71200735fc an action 54f676e6a4 done in 94a39b0a76 a hopeless 1a7c8d192f way to dc84481874 suppress the e77fa95d76 rising rage. Amidst the half-grey 09c06fe917 locks that slipped d0c7678f4d between the fingers, 8da169cdab a hint of 30022ac1e1 blue could be 0d6b1b7589 seen. Enraged, the c056e38e7d man opened a93863c734 his mouth, da4041315a his blue 1f84da1c7d locks shaking b7077f6028 violently.9485e38b9b66ba50

The reason e52e25c546 I used 96a4853889 the term 46bbf96209 ‘it appeared 6dcbd5dfe3 to be’ 2fa57482b6 was because 79f1667c92 of the c3b2cfbd0b change of da2135d494 the case, 97994d938f which previously 917d334f2a was only a74dca1856 related to b6e204bb89 Heilbronner but 55c3c05951 now to 3930a4b0fc human trafficking.
