Chapter 91- A Smart prey
A tall building stood near Station Kael, its rooftop open to the strong morning wind. A woman stood at the edge, holding a long stick in one hand. Her black robe fluttered behind her.
A silver mask covered her face, hiding her expression.
Behind her stood five men. Each held a long, rod-shaped weapon, their eyes fixed on the tracks below. The sound of an approaching train echoed in the air.
"Get ready. Stop that train. No one gets off." She raised her hand, the coldness in her eyes clearly visible through the mask—silvery like a gem reflecting the light outside.
"What about you, Commander?" One of the men stepped forward, unsure.
They were among the few loyal to her, but for the past few days, there had been a noticeable change in the commander—who, after leading the front lines, had returned to the city. Clearly, she was interested in targeting a particular family. Especially the heir of the Blac family.
It had become obvious to most of them. They had been ordered to collect information about that man—his activities, daily life, every little thing. And the events he was involved in made it clear: their commander was after him.
But the question was, why? Especially when she had been engaged in conflict at the border zones. She shouldn’t have even known someone like Cruxius Blac personally.
"I’m going to meet that man."
Given their loyalty, she at least mustered herself to give them a direct answer before clearly taking a stance to leap from the building.
The man frowned. "Wouldn’t he be on that train?"
