Aster read a book while waiting for his servant to come. In a flash, Jain appeared in front of him, kneeled deeply. Aster closed his book and stared at Jain's shoulder.
Jain somewhat felt that his Young Lord's attitude wasn't right after he visited late Empress two months ago, however, he kept his silence until Aster opened his mouth.
"Did you complete the task?" Aster asked. His tone was colder than usual.
"Yes, Young Lord. I have eliminated the spy instantly," Jain replied. He still had his dagger under his sleeve and blood dripped from his sleeve. Aster saw this and nodded, then shifted his attention back to the book.
Jain itched to ask, "Young Lord, I could also eliminate the informant, but why did you only let me kill the spy?"
Aster sighed. He closed the book again and looked down on his servant. "Do you think if you killed the informant, what would they do?"
"They would dispatch another spy and informant on us," Jain replied.
