184 Irvin in distress. (1/2)

Ozul squinted his eyes a little. He knew a little bit of what this woman might be thinking. Just as he was about to say something, a voice rang out,

”Young Master!”

It was the old Haley. However, Ozul did notice that she did not look so old as she did before. At most, she appeared to be a middle-aged lady.

After he had removed the poison from the old couple's Mana Core, the Mana had started to circulate through their bodies again.

And the purity of their Mana was high enough to rejuvenate their physical condition back to what it was before.

Haley was surprised to see Ozul back since there wasn't any other way for him to inform them beforehand.

She immediately approached him and bowed her head. These few months were not enough to make her forget their absolute debt to this person.

”You don't have to bow every time,” Ozul replied as Haley smiled with sweetness.

”Madam-”

”It's okay. You can return to your work,” Haley said to the woman before she led Ozul towards the next room.

The woman did not say anything afterward and bowed her head before leaving. She had seen her madam bowing to this person. It certainly meant that he was someone strong or influential.

Ozul saw half the people arranging files on different tables and the other half sorting those documents. They did not stop there as Haley led him to the stairs.

While on the second floor, they had yet to enter the office when ”Irvin! Come here right now!” Haley shouted angrily.

”What is it now?!” Irvin's voice sounded annoyed, but he hurriedly came out of his room in fear that he had done something wrong.

Just as Irvin had come out of the room, he looked a little dumbfounded when he saw Ozul. Immediately afterwards, he got on one of his knees as he bowed respectfully.

”Young Master.”

”Stand up,” Ozul said as Irvin stood up with a nervous face.

Although he thought he had done a great job establishing the organization in Ozul's absence, he was unsure if Ozul would be satisfied with it.

”When did you return?” Irvin asked tensely. To his side, Haley looked at him with amusement.

”I just did. It's not important. Let's go inside,” Ozul said while making his way inside the office.

Irvin stood there awkwardly as it should have been his first gesture to invite him to the room instead. After a while, the three were in the room with Ozul sitting on the couch.

There was a table with thick piles of documents placed on top. Ozul assumed it to be Irvin's table.

The couple did not dare to sit down in the presence of their Master.

”Although I was going to leave everything to you before. I now want to hurry things up a little,” Ozul stated after a while.

”I am not sure, but I think we should have our branches to almost every populated area under 10 years,” Ozul replied, making Irvin shoot open his eyes.

'His surprise is valid since 10 years probably seem impossible,' Ozul thought without minding much.

”That brings me to the point; we have allies in the Neutral City,” Ozul said, which instantly piqued both Irvin and Haley's interest.

”Who are they?” Irvin asked. He and Haley were from the Neutral Lands, so Ozul thought that they must know of them.

”The Order of Dusk and the Ashin Family,” Ozul answered simply.

However, the two hearing his words, instinctively took a few steps back. They were both high ranked Mages, so this extent of reaction made Ozul think that something was wrong.

”Hmm? What happened?” he asked as he noticed their worried emotions.

”I... We have something to tell you...” Irvin said with a meek tone.

”Speak,”

”Remember how we told you that I worked for a powerful family?” Irvin reminded Ozul of the time when he had removed their poison.

Ozul instantly realized what Irvin was trying to say as he asked, ”You mean to say that you worked for the Ashin Family?”
