Chapter 1153: Real and only owner of the house
Meanwhile,a middle-aged woman stood on the balcony of a castle on a secluded island. A satisfied smile reigned on her face, enjoying a glass of wine while inhaling the cool night breeze.
"Isn’t tonight a wonderful night, Nigel?" she spoke even before the person who came from behind her could talk. "Today’s weather was also good and everything for the entire day was perfect. It’s as if the heaven is on my side."
The man, around the age of his early 40’s, lowered his head. "We received word from the unit you deployed to the Reaper’s base."
"Did they kill Hera Cruel?"
"No."
"She wasn’t there." The madam smirked. "Of course, they won’t kill her. How many casualties?"
"Fifty."
The madam arched a brow, looking back at the head butler of the Oxley Family. "That’s quite the number. There were around 80 members of the Reapers stationed at their base, don’t they?"
"Fifty casualties, Madam, all ours." Nigel kept his eyes downcast, his tone still the same. "Our forces were wiped out, Madam. Or so, according to the lack of reports. We never heard from them since they stepped into the Reaper’s territory."
The smile on the Madam’s face disappeared, replaced with nothing but a layer of frost.
"A surprise attack and they were all wiped out?" the madam hissed, turning her back on him. "Our soldiers surely are incompetent. Or was it just that my beloved niece trained hers well?"
