Chapter 201
In a certain tavern within a lord’s domain, a group of pleasure-seekers gathered, savoring the rumors swirling through the empire.
“Can it be... the recently esteemed Baron Yan, a turncoat?” one whispered.
“Hush, a top-secret morsel for you. Have you heard of the revolutionaries?”
“The very ones wreaking havoc with their terror! They even derailed a train not long ago!”
“If Baron Yan is indeed their puppet, would you believe it?”
The tavern’s patrons perked up their ears, especially the mercenaries sensitive to the currents of time, who even bought beer for the gossipers.
The pleasure-seekers, emboldened by the attention, began to embellish the rumors about Yan even more.
Soon, the entire tavern was united in their scorn for the traitorous Yan.
That’s when a beggar’s voice cut through, “Easy money, eh? While some scrape and bow for scraps!”
The beggar’s sarcasm drew the crowd’s gaze.
“Silence, beggar! Be gone!”
