Chapter 595: Hidden Secrets
Greg still remembered the words Antalya had spoken at Harry’s house; her demeanor then was far from peaceful.
Regardless of Howard’s motivations, if he truly was a magus, his presence represented a certain instability for Antalya.
Running an adventurer’s tavern in Breeze City required more than just financial capital; the rewards were not solely monetary.
The business involved numerous confrontations, and it wasn’t uncommon for maguses to be involved.
Due to their late departure, by the time Howard, along with Jelia and Greg, arrived at the meeting point, Ali, Antalya, and Vivia were already waiting.

Their main objective was to procure sufficient food supplies for the tavern, along with various other sundries.
Initially, he and Ali had divided the tasks between them, but Howard had completely forgotten about this duty in his eagerness to assist Jelia.
It wasn’t just Howard who felt embarrassed; Vivia’s expression also carried a hint of awkwardness.
