Chapter 46. Collaborator and the One Who Burns (6)
The old man asked me to kill the guards who had gone to the spider's lair. Three years ago, the lord had brought that brutal group of guards in. However, I needed more confirmation.
"What about their leader? I mean... someone like the captain of the guards?"
The old man flinched.
Without giving him time to react properly, I asked directly, "What does he look like?"
"He's almost completely bald. Built like a rock," he answered. "You'll recognize him the moment you see his eyes. They scream of leadership."
Click.
I tensed up.
It must be them—the ones who murdered Rubia.
I could vividly picture those brutes dragging a cart through the city gates.
"Did that man go to the spider's lair as well?"
"Yes. He moves with his subordinates. When he's around, the others are especially obedient. If anyone doesn't perform, well... he nearly kills them on the spot."
