“Reporting, Sir! We have sealed off the entire marketplace!”
A fully-armored soldier reported by the door
Klautz sulked, placed the teacup on the table, and gazed at the s, brown hair was clad in an eye-grabbing arhastly, ugly scar that had extended all the way from his forehead to his chin
“Great, pass this e on We must capture them, understood?”
“Yes!’
The soldier saluted and ran off City owner Klautz stared at the ers and let out a sneer while sitting back on the couch
“Never did I expect that the Vice Commander of the South Warzone would be so panicky over a few mercenaries… If outsiders knew about this, they would surely laugh their heads off Wouldn’t they, Lord Ron? You come to my turf for whatever reason and demand to capture some people Do you even put Paphield in your eyes?”
“I’m sorry for the sudden intrusion, Sir Klautz”
The soldier naestured with his hand Then, he narrowed his eyes and revealed an enigh Klautz didn’t have a good iood, he couldn’t do er than theirs
Ron and hisnoon the day before Initially, Klautz was puzzled because as far as he reion of the Southern Warzone Then, he realised that these people had a hidden agenda because, according to Ron, their intelligence reported that a wanted criminal of the Southern Warzone was seen in this area and they were here to capture him Furthermore, they had even put in a request for Klautz’s permission This was entirely unnecessary because if the military wanted to capture someone, since when did they need to seek permission with the area’s administrative officer?
Klautz wasn’t that concerned about the people they were looking to capture, especially when the excuses and reasoning of these people were full of loopholes and completely nonsensical Did they even need the Vice Commander of the Southern Warzone to personally lead a team of elite soldiers to capture wanted criminals? Could it be that the wanted criminals were Necromancers? For the Vice Commander to even notify Klautz about this capture was already honorable enough for someone of his status
Besides, they had even brazenly ordered hi off the area Did they really treat him as a nobody? However, as an administrative officer of a territory, Klautz definitely wasn’t so foolish as to fall out with these soldiers Now that the situation in Paphield wasn’t stable, he didn’t want to cause any more proble to what the soldiers wanted In fact, before they initiated the capture, Klautz had secretly sent his ets If they were any norh he didn’t know anything about it But if they were soht reflection flashed in the corner of Klautz’s eyes He remained calm and collected Then, he stood up with a smile and bowed to Ron
“Sorry for the inconvenience, Lord Ron I have some official businesses to attend to… Please pardon me”
Klautz stepped out of the room and closed the door behind him He approached the balcony on the other end of the hallhere an old man dressed as a housekeeper kept the reeted Klautz with a polite bow
“Sir Klautz”
“Do you knoho is their target?” Klautz asked softly while the old athered fro to capture three young ladies”
“Three young ladies?”
Klautz was stunned
“Do you knoho are they?”
“Yes, Sir They are roup Miss Lize Noir, Miss Anne Viroga, and also another young lady, whoht roup?”
Klautz sulked instantly
“Are you sure that thosefor them?”
“Yes, Sir I’les between the knights and the three young ladies”
“… Gosh!+”
Klautz gritted his teeth and spun around in circles anxiously Then, he came to a halt and took in a deep breath He said to the old housekeeper in a firet the ladies! Also, see if the leader of the Starlight roup is back! Go now!”
“Yes!”
Although the old housekeeper didn’t knohy Klautz became so tense, he abided by his order and left instantly Glancing at the old housekeeper’s distant silhouette, Klautz felt a nuhts for a moment and returned to the room with a stern expression
