Chapter 89: The Tin Knight and The City of Struggle (8)
The mood of Lorentz Halder, the head of the Halder Company, was fluctuating like a roller coaster, “What? A messenger bird came saying they found them at the Thracus branch? Huh, they’ve already moved there? Bring me that letter right away.”
At first, he smiled brightly upon hearing news of Dorothea’s party, but...

“Well, the one who sent this letter is the perpetrator of that incident.”
