"What's the situation in the Fornol Empire, Xuna?" A minister took charge to question them. He was the one maintaining the intelligence circle, having personally trained all the spies, including Xuna.
So, even though he hadn't seen her for a decade, he could still recognise her, asking, "What happened to the rest of our spies? Everyone went dark in the past month."
"They have all been captured, interrogated, and killed." Xuna sighed as she said, "I only managed to barely escape, and that's only thanks to him beside me."
The minister looked at Rhizen in response, feeling his heart rate accelerate automatically in the process, for there was an air of power emanating from him.
Of course, even if he just stood plainly, Rhizen's countenance would overwhelm the average person unless he tried to conceal himself.
