Huo Yunjiao lifted his gaze towards the Falcon, his eyes precisely capturing the unease in the other's depths. He silently awaited the other to speak.
The Falcon glanced at the hole in the ceiling that was billowing black smoke and slowly said, "Third Master, we were following the orders of Master Lu to carry out this task."
Master Lu, Lu Tianrong, was the authority figure in the Cabinet.
It could be said that he controlled both the four great families and the six aristocratic families, provided the Huo Family was out of the picture.
Huo Yunjiao's brows tightened, his expression cold, and the depths of his eyes were so dark that no light could be seen, concealing many emotions.
He remained silent, his thumb pressing on the black cylinder of the weapon in his hand, gently caressing it as if he hadn't heard the Falcon's words.
In an instant, the atmosphere congealed, and everyone in the room dared not breathe too loudly.
