Chapter 407 The Situation
Michael soon learned the identities of the others trapped in this strange space.
For one, they were all nobles—proof enough that this attack was likely targeted.
But if that was the case...why was he also implicated?
Aside from Duke Evermoon, he could see only two other faces that stood out sharply. The man who had revealed Michael’s name was a marquis, and the middle-aged man—whose presence felt heavier than anyone else’s—turned out to be none other than the second prince of the Lionheart Kingdom.
Michael’s instincts told him this prince was on the same level as Duke Evermoon, perhaps even slightly stronger.
The remaining figures were still powerful, but less so. To Michael’s perception, they were all approaching the peak of Rank 1—a realm of strength that would be considered strong in this corner of the Land of Origin.
The lowest noble rank among them was a count, followed by a marquis, then a duke, and finally a prince. All of them were, in one way or another, figures of considerable wealth and influence.
This only made Michael more certain—this attack wasn’t random.
But the part he couldn’t quite understand was why he’d been included at all.
Was it purely because of his strength?
Thinking back to the voice he’d heard just before he was pulled under—commenting on his strong mind—it started to make sense.
