Chapter 389: The Rumour Spreads
"Master, to think that you finally contacted me! I tried to reach you a year ago but couldn’t. Right now, I’m in seclusion at my hideout. Do you have any new orders, Master?" Arson replied after not replying for a few seconds.
"Yes, there will be a new order. I’m currently in Caritas City—I have business in this empire," Aldrian said.
"You’re already in the Atria Empire? In a situation like this, you must have something important to do, Master. Others are trying to leave this empire, and Caritas City is already under the second prince’s faction after the rebel group led by Baroness Weilmar was pushed toward the capital of the barony."
"This city is no longer under the second prince. I’ve already taken over it."
Arson was stunned. "What do you mean?"
"I killed Marquess Parus and his son, along with almost all of his forces in this city. Anyway, you’ll hear about it in the next few days."
"..." Arson was truly speechless. He had killed the head of a noble family—one of the second prince’s important supporter like it was no big deal. If it were anyone else, Arson would think they were insane, but since it was his master...
Aldrian’s voice resounded again. "I heard from someone that you have a connection to the imperial family. Who is it?"
He had learned this from Xin Haotian when they once discussed the rumors surrounding the Thunderous Shadow Pavilion.
"It’s the second prince, Master. He sometimes uses our services. However, since I—well, became your underling—"
"Slave," Aldrian cut in.
