"How did you know we were coming?"
Shen Congfei asked bluntly in response to the jester's grin of the man before them.
"If these outsiders can sell information to you, they can also sell it to us."
The man's face gradually relaxed, he responded in Imperial language,
"In the Empire, who could refuse the offerings of the five great nobles."
"I just didn't expect that the person who arrived would be the renowned Spark of Frontline."
"That you, such an individual, would actually come here to snatch people."
"Humph."
Upon hearing Beast Duke Victor's words, Shen Congfei snorted disdainfully.
"Since you were already prepared and waiting for us here, your intention should not be so simple, right?"
"That's correct."
Unexpectedly, Victor nodded in admission,
"I heard that in your team, there's someone who can control beast hordes."
As he said this, his gaze fell on the dark-skinned Tang Ke in their group of four.
