In the gatehouse sat a Fifth Great Domain guard and two Fourth Great Realm guards. Throughout the entire process, they never showed themselves, only responsible for ensuring the security of the goods and the payment – if this matter were to be exposed, it would all be the Old Doorkeeper's fault, and they would just push him out to be executed.
The Old Doorkeeper also understood this. He didn't have many days left to live anyway, so taking the blame for his master would ensure that his descendants would be taken care of.
Could a mere doorkeeper get away with such a big case? This was hard to imagine throughout history, but it was possible in the Wood Dynasty! Of course, most of the money earned had to be given to the Emperor to save their lives.
At this moment, the Fifth Great Domain guard stood up and said, "No one should come tonight. Move these things back to the inner house and put them in the Array Method Cellar designated by the Master."
