Chapter 151: Chapter 145: The Dark Alliance (Vote for monthly tickets!)
Baron Adrian did not take a carriage and instead arrived in Nasir Town alone. Just a few steps into the town, he was detected by the “Black Mirror” barrier set up by Viscount Bast.
Suddenly, he heard a familiar male voice surrounding him.
“Your Excellency Baron Adrian, you’ve finally arrived. I’ve been wondering whether you would come here or rush off to seek Viscount Garcia overnight.”
The voice was calm and powerful—it was Byrne Fischer’s voice!
“His Excellency Byrne?”
Adrian was shocked, having no clue where the voice was coming from; he couldn’t see Byrne’s figure anywhere around him.
Where was he?
In fact, in a hidden spot unbeknownst to him, Byrne had previously left a Sound Marker, and that sentence was a recording of Byrne’s voice all along.
There were only so many normal entrances to Nasir Town, and since Adrian bore no ill intent, Byrne could easily predict where Adrian would enter the town without taking a detour from Black Mountain Town.
“He can easily know every move of anyone in Nasir Town?”
Adrian fell silent.
He quickly noticed something unusual about Nasir Town.
Even though it was nighttime, he observed that civilians were still strolling around without any fear of robbery.
Even in areas where civilians lived, the streets were clean and tidy, with no prostitutes commonly seen in other towns, no brawlers or thieves.
Adrian was puzzled, as most nobles in Cyart paid little attention to the living conditions of commoners.
Even in Fein City, the center of the East Coast, and in Phelps Port, which had just become the second city of the East Coast Province, commoners still lived in chaos.
Forget about the slums, even in ordinary areas where commoners lived, it was common to see thieves, underage prostitutes, and brawlers.
“How strange, why is the security in Nasir Town so good, and the living environment so clean? What’s the point of the Fischer family spending so much effort and money on this?”
Adrian couldn’t understand the significance of appeasing the commoners.
Soon after, he arrived at Fischer Manor, where he quickly met a burly, military-statured old butler who was waiting for him with hands clasped behind his back in front of the black iron gate.
“Mr. Adrian, this way, please. The master has been waiting for you for a long time.”
Theo bowed politely and calmly invited Adrian into Fischer Manor.
When Adrian reached the drawing room of the Fischer Mansion, he saw the mature Byrne reading a black book, with tea already prepared by the servants.
