“I heard that you saved Graham Willhem from being kidnapped.”
“Yes. If I had been even slightly later, he would probably have been snatched away right before my eyes.”
Amidst the faint noise of the carriage running, Kishiar smiled as he replied.
“Exactly what happened?”
“It's probably not much different from what you expected.”
Last night, just after meeting Yuder, Kishiar had headed straight for Graham Willhem's...

With a sudden splashing noise, the soldiers who were busy setting up camp hastily dropped their tasks and assembled in formation.
Hu Bugui ran over, not caring about the mud splashing under his feet, panting as he said, “General Lin, the flare was sent up by our scouts. There must be something unusual ahead.”
Xu Zhiqing looked into the distance with slightly furrowed brows, her face full of concern. “It's already...

The spring rain lingered, continuing until evening without stopping. This chilly weather left even the horses feeling tired, to say nothing of the people. The road was muddy and difficult to travel, particularly as it ran along a section of official road that had been neglected for years and was in terrible disrepair. The carts carrying silver repeatedly became stuck in the mud, and it took the effort of soldiers to push them forward. The...

The search for the silver had finally come to an end, providing a rare opportunity to make an official journey, and a return to familiar ground. Master Lin, naturally, would not pass up such an opportunity, and he and Ning'er thoroughly enjoyed themselves in Jining, easing her yearning heart.
The waters of Weishan Lake had long since returned to calm. Three hundred thousand fish fry had been released, to be harvested by...

Considering that Kishiar would be moving all night without rest, Yuder couldn't waste time sitting still inside the prison. He had no intention of sleeping anyway, and his mental fatigue had subsided thanks to the unexpected visitor.
Yuder glanced at Robel, who was still sleeping, then rose from his seat. Adjusting the cloak over his shoulders, he checked for any presence around him, then exerted strength to grab the bars of the jail. A suffocating sen...

"Nathan is waiting outside. Why? Do you want to see Nathan's face?"
"No, I don't."
Yuder immediately shook his head. The faint smile on Kishiar's face deepened a bit. His gaze turned to Robel, who was sleeping soundly, oblivious to anyone's presence.
"Is that the person sleeping over there Robel, who sneaked in as a servant?"
"Yes."

'When did he manage to obtain these?'
They had not left the mansion for more than a few hours. The heating stones were expensive, and the duration they could maintain warmth was disappointingly short for their price. Kishiar had no concern about money, of course, but the thought that he had ordered these for Yuder even when he was insanely busy naturally led to a sigh.
'There's no need for this.'
Everyone was paying so much attention to him...

"Dignity? Do you have any dignity? Didn't you want to touch? Go on then, touch!" Xu Zhiqing exclaimed, her voice filled with both grief and anger. She thrust her full chest toward him, a scornful sneer on her lips, stepping closer and closer to him.

The silver chests were hauled up, and Lin Wanrong dared not delay. He immediately broke open the chests on the spot, directing the soldiers to separate the silver pieces and tin chunks. Once they were repackaged and accounted for, all three hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver were present, neither a fraction more nor less. Only then did he completely relax, sealing the treasury silver and deploying a heavy guard, with Luo Yua...

After a bout of playfulness, Luo Ning and Miss Xu gradually calmed down.

Thankfully, Sister Xu has a good temperament, otherwise, she would certainly have made a fuss with you.”

Robel seemed to feel that the siblings of the Baron had become the targets, but there didn’t appear to be a specific reason for the murder that occurred today.
"I believe the main intent was to show an example that the mansion's security was breached, to disgrace the Baron and the Tain family. If that's not the case, then…”

Yuder raised his finger to his lips before the man could raise his voice any further, gesturing for him to be quiet. The man, who had become aware of the soldiers near the prison where they were trapped, promptly closed his mouth.
Looking back at his previous experience, the Tainu Security Management prison was not heavily guarded in proportion to its size. Even without that, this was a time when manpower was even more lacking. If they had behaved, tho...

The sharp contrast between Baron Willhem, who asked in disbelief even though he had received the answer he had hoped for, and Kishiar, who collected his smile as though he were trying to gauge Yuder's intentions, was clear.

When confining Yuder, Baron Willhem had refrained from binding ...

Both banks of the lake were densely packed with people, a massive throng that stretched as far as the eye could see. A dark mass of old and young, men and women, craning their necks to look into the lake, as if expecting to find some treasure.

For a moment, the tips of his fingers stopped twitching. The damp, foul smell that irritated his nose was not merely because the basement was humid. Yuder silently stood up from where the fainted man lay and moved closer to the corpse with agile motions.

On their way back to the main residence, Pruelle suddenly spoke.
"Well, since we share accommodations, it's only natural, I suppose."

Nahan's gaze swept over the moderate faction of Awakeners, answering with an expressionless face.
