It’s not an option to carry out the work at night either.”“Oh?”Intrigued, Skylar said, “I’m curious as to who is up to the funny business.”Kareem Fashion’s factory was set up by the highway near the northern outskirts of Cloudtopia.The land there was cheap and accessible, making it rather cost-effective in comparison with the land in the city.Meanwhile, crowds gathered under a tree near the highway. Some were there to gamble and brag while others were munching on watermelons.It was a lively scene.“Is that all Kareem Fashion can do? They don’t even have connections with the police.
