Chapter 409: Rumors
William had been waiting at the entrance to Loren's house, and the moment Loren returned, he immediately approached him.
“Master Mentor...”
“What's the matter?”
Seeing the cart full of gifts behind William, Loren decided to spare a few more words with him.
“I'm not sure if you've heard a rumor that the Head of the Chailros Family needs Ember Radiance...”
William spoke cautiously, terrified of accidentally provoking Loren.
“With something this big, of course I've heard about it. The Langton family used that very rumor to target my friend. You know I hate nothing more than threats and slander against me.
“I was just about to pay your family a visit to settle the score when you showed up.”
Hearing this, William broke out in a cold sweat and became even more careful with his words. He felt somewhat relieved that he'd come to Loren in advance—if he'd waited until Loren put everything on the scale, it would have been truly over.
