Chapter 1278: Above You
Captain Herrs looked at Sylas for a moment, not answering immediately. He seemed like quite the serious man for a moment until he suddenly began to chuckle.
"This is your right, is it not? I can’t interfere directly to help you. I am not of the Scorpion Lineage, and even if I was, that would only be more reason why I could not. But you are still a disciple in waiting. You still deserve some advantages."
"Mm..." Sylas nodded slowly. "In that case, let me talk to the people down below."
Captain Herrs blinked in surprise. "You..."
"I won’t be making any unilateral decisions. I just want to speak to them."
"But then you will alert them that we know."
"As things are right now, do you have any leads on who they might be?"
Captain Herrs paused for a long while before shaking his head no.
"In that case, the information is useless as is. They might not even care that you know so long as they can continue to protect their identities. They’ll just wait for the right moment and then stab you in the back."
