Chapter 161: New Information (4)
Curt swallowed a few more saliva despite his parched throat.
"I’m sorry, Your Majesty." His voice almost cracked before he managed to stabilize his emotion and thought for the answer: "It’s hard to ask around about His Excellency, his whereabouts were always unknown, and he rarely showed up. Even with my team leader, he only saw him twice despite working for the organization for years."
No one interrupted him, so he could go on and express everything in his mind.
"I’m also someone who isn’t allowed to know the headquarters, much less be exposed to confidential matters." A rare, mocking smile appeared on his lips. "My ability is highly regarded as I’m assigned in the capital, but it also makes me a dangerous individual to the organization since there’s still a high chance of being discovered. Aside from missions that are related to the capital, I don’t know a lot."
It was vague and yet also clear; he didn’t know a lot, especially about the leader. However, his value was still high because, as a liaison in the capital, which was probably the most important place for their plans in the empire, he knew a lot about their plans.
Once more, Spade wasn’t surprised. However, he still stared at him to see if he was telling the truth. Actually, even if he knew something, he had a way to make him spit it out for a few days. In Curt’s intellect, he must have had a hunch about this, so there was no reason to make it harder for himself.
Spade nodded, deciding to stop the questions about the leader for now. If he could simply get information about the leader from a liaison, then he would be even more suspicious. They had not met yet, but he had already treated this leader as the most cunning he would encounter in his rule.
"One thing I want to know..." Spade’s eyes became sharp, and even the people inside, as well as Arren, who wasn’t affected by the pressurizing pheromones from Spade, could sense this change.
He furrowed his brows and looked at the alpha, wondering if he was about to ask, for him to react like this.
