When Ge Yan and Rex returned to their residence, they had not even entered but they had already seen the Regiment Commander Locke at the door, as if he was waiting for them. When he saw them return, he said that he was going to prepare to return to the imperial city and he didn't look like he was about to go crazy.

”Regiment Commander Locke came out of the shock? ”The expression just now was a bit scary.” Ge Yan felt goosebumps just thinking about it.

”I don't know.” Rex stared at the direction where the Regiment Commander Locke left in, his eyes narrowing slightly, his thoughts unknown.

Regiment Commander Locke, who had calmed down, did not ask the rest of them where they were going. It was obvious that he knew the reason why they were going.

On the contrary, their journey was very smooth and their speed was neither fast nor slow. Half a month later, they finally returned to the Saint Laner Capital.

Holy Orchid Empire was the imperial capital of Atherenka Empire, and Atherenka Empire was the largest, most prosperous city within the Ezra Continent, the center of the political economy. The headquarters of the famous Mercenary Union and Mage's Guild were established here, and some famous merchant guilds were also established in the imperial capital.

This was the first time Ge Yan had come to the Saint Laner Capital, and the surprise in his eyes was almost unconcealable. He thought that Zag City was already big enough, he didn't expect that the Saint Laner Capital was even larger than this, to the point where he felt that it wasn't enough to describe it as spectacular.

After entering the city, before they could even tour around, the Regiment Commander Locke had already brought them to a place.

Due to the fact that their Saint Laner Capital was too great, they rented two griffins near the city gates. The griffins flew above the imperial city, and even at a glance, they still could not see the end of the imperial city.

Ge Yan looked down from above and couldn't help but exclaim once again at the majesty and grandeur of the imperial city.

The clouds covered their line of sight, and they could not see the buildings and symbols in front of them. Ge Yan did not know where the Regiment Commander Locke was planning to take them, so he could not help but ask Rex when he and Rex were riding on the same Griffin. The Regiment Commander Locke was on the Griffin in in front.

”Where are we going?” Ge Yan's voice was blown away by the wind and the Regiment Commander Locke in front of him could not hear it, but he heard it bit by bit.

”The Zerich family, Carlos's family, is also the master behind the Black Wolf Mercenary Regiment.” However, it was no longer a secret. Everyone was just tacit agreement.

”Is it because of Carlos's death?”

Rex nodded: ”Carlos's father is the family head of the Zerich family, and at the same time, is also the emperor's personal Duke. Carlos's mother is a favored princess of the imperial family, and as their son, Carlos's position in the Saint Laner Capital is only second to the prince or princess. His death is naturally a major event, not only does the Zerg family take him seriously, even the imperial family takes him seriously.

Ge Yan felt like he was knocked unconscious.

Although he knew that their identities were not ordinary, but as a murderer, could you not use such serious words that seemed as if their deaths had nothing to do with you? Even if he were to face the relatives of the people you killed later, he would still feel a little pressured.

Ge Yan was completely convinced by Rex's calmness. Even though he knew that this fellow was not human, he still underestimated him.

”Do you think Carlos's father will suspect us?” he whispered.

”Yes.” Rex answered without hesitation.

It was impossible for the head of the family to believe with a few words that his son would die so easily. Doubts were certain, but they were only suspicions.

Ge Yan felt as if his one word ”breath” had been taken away, ”Then what do we do?”

Seemingly sensing his anxiety, Rex rarely comforted him, ”Don't worry, as long as you follow what we said before, I will make the other arrangements.”

Ge Yan stared at his face, as though he wanted to see if there were any problems from his expression, as if to prove that he was sure or not, but Rex's facial paralysis was not something that could be seen through after training, and in the end, he could only believe him based on his past experiences. From the moment he met him, Rex seemed to have a plan for everything, and this time was probably not an exception.

Half a day later, they finally saw the house of the family. It was a huge building that was as magnificent as a palace. The area it covered was over ten thousand mu, and it was astonishingly vast.
