"Are you... giving this to me?"
Kishiar nodded, catching sight of Aishes's skeptical gaze. His smile was simply beautiful, free of any discernible intentions. For a moment, Aishes's golden eyes wavered, revealing a greedy gasp.
The mushroom, as Kishiar described it, was a poison yet unknown to the world. Meaning, as he'd said just before, if dried and turned into powder, it could be used to kill anyone in the same way that Lenore had been killed....

Lin Wanrong was momentarily stunned as he heard the news. "Where did this come from? Young Master Guo got it through bribery, but where did you, Si De, hear this?" he asked, casting a perplexed glance at Si De. "How did you manage to uncover such important news while you were out looking for boy's urine?"
Si De chuckled ingratiatingly, "This news has long been circulating in Jinling City. As soon as I heard it, I rushed back to infor...

‘This old man, he comes and goes as he pleases, just like a blind man, yet so much more nonchalant than I ever was.’ Lin Wanrong gazed in stupefaction at the fading figure of Uncle Wei. The old man Wei, he was not ordinary by any means. Not only was he able to scale high walls with such an ease, but his familiarity with the people and affairs of the capital was also uncanny. He was definitely no insignificant chara...

Before a dimly lit window stood a thin silhouette, swathed entirely in black, appearing as a reanimated mummy, unmoving as a statue.
Lin Wanrong felt his entire body freeze, his eyes wide with terror. He was on the brink of crying out. Though he prided himself on his courage, he found his breath hitching at the sight before him.
"Wh—who's there?" he stuttered, his voice shaking slightly. Cold sweat drenched his body, his skin prickled ...

"The first son of Apeto has arrived."
Upon hearing the awaited fish had bitten the bait and come, Kishiar's eyes shifted.
"Indeed... he arrived at a perfect time. Has Revlin been informed of his arrival?"
"Yes. He was notified right before the guest arrived. He said he would wait within the lodging to come at your immediate call."
The youngest of the Apeto house, the third son Revlin, was living freely within the Cavalry as a temporar...

Among the crowd, a few key members of the Hung Hing faction were the most ruthless. They savagely kicked at Wu Zhenghu's legs. Wu Zhenghu's terrible screams resounded in the air, and Lin Wanrong could even hear the sound of his leg bones breaking.

It was a difficult admission to make, but given Kishiar's earnest expression, there was little choice. A sense of guilt subtly brushed his mind, prompting the question: why had he made such a response last time, leading to this situation?

There were a total of ten individuals who held the surname ‘La Orr’ in the Orr Empire, excluding Kishiar. Enon had told him that six among them had emerged over the past 300 years. None of them, apart from Kishiar, had shown themselves much to the world before their death, and only a few portraits of them remained. The first thought that crossed his mind upon hearing this was, what?
In truth, he had committed the sacrilege of wondering if there was...

As if they had just returned from an outing somewhere, they lowered their heads to greet a carriage that was just disappearing behind them. Sunz and Emon, who were next to Yuder, also hurriedly lowered their heads and stretched out their hands to give an imperial military-style salute.
