Chapter 16 Hustace (Part 2)
"HOHOHO, Rostellum, how are you going to explain these stones?" Mayor Babasha asked directly as he entered Rostellum’s office.
"With my humble knowledge and lack of experience, I failed to comprehend the mysteries of the stones and ended up embarrassing myself in Liuli City!"
Great Witch Biggs was quite impressed by Rostellum’s response. After all, she was the one who brought these stones, and Rostellum could have easily placed the blame on her.
"HOHOHO, I like your rascal spirit. You admit your mistakes faster than anyone else!" The mayor strolled around the office, speaking in a leisurely manner.
Rostellum cautiously watched every corner of the office. He was surprised to find that the chair Lord Babasha usually occupied was now taken by a hulking, unfamiliar figure. Beside this figure stood three other strangers.
These newcomers didn’t look like Politicians. Their bearing was more like that of Deputy Court Chief Estev, who stood beside Babasha. They seemed to be Fighters...
Moreover, Babasha’s entourage had brought four boxes. Babasha had already revealed the contents of one, but what lay within the other three was still a mystery.
From Phil’s brief earlier response, Rostellum had already guessed part of their purpose: they were likely here to search for Governor Rostov’s son.
"You’ve received a letter from the Association of Adventurers not long ago, haven’t you?" The mayor’s question confirmed Rostellum’s guess.
"Yes, Mayor. I’ve already assigned my men and they’re in place. Any Adventurers passing through will be well taken care of!" His guess had been right. Rostellum felt a stone lift from his heart.
"Is that so? Then tell me, what’s the name of Governor Rostov’s son?"
"This..." A bucket of cold water seemed to pour over Rostellum’s head, leaving him chilled and utterly miserable.
