Chapter 145: Questioning (1)
It only took a little over an hour for the bounty hunters to return to the duchy’s capital city. Amongst their numbers was the tigerkin, lost in thought about what was happening.
He was still not sure if what he heard was real or just from his imagination. Was the plan of Jess and Caleb to be captured? If so, then why? He had too many questions.
However, there was nothing he could do at the moment. He needed to keep his head down and observe what happened next. Shifting his gaze to the side, he looked at their new addition.
’Belzac...’ He mused with narrowed eyes. There was nothing special about him, and his aura was genuine as any one of them.
It was just a feeling, but he couldn’t shake it off. Whatever plan those two were cooking, he hoped it wouldn’t bring too much trouble.
Sometime later, the large bounty party arrived at the duke’s castle. Similar to other ducal domains, the duke’s residence was separate from the main city.
While called a castle, it was more like a gigantic estate with many buildings and quarters spread all over the main castle – it was its own town in a way. The land was mostly covered with bits and pieces of white from the condensed moisture.
"We’ll take it from here..."
A group of knights met the bounty hunters once they entered the estate grounds. Orien had called ahead to inform the knights of their success.
The bounty hunters holding onto Jess passed her to the knights. The catwoman was cuffed and blindfolded for obvious reasons.
The leading knight eyed Jess silently until she was taken by one of his men. Shifting his gaze back to Orien, he gestured to a male servant standing a few meters back.
