It was the evening. Unexpected guests had visited Mayor Lombard today, and he was bringing them inside his mansion.
''Welcome, Lord Jake. It is mine and my family's pleasure to have you tonight,'' said the mayor with a hearty laugh.
He was a lanky man in his mid-forties. Retiring early from a gangster life, he had bought this position fifteen years ago. As a 2nd Circle Brawler, his physique was still in good shape.
Walking beside her master, Ruxa was amazed how Jake had made this man so obedient in a moment's time. Perry, on the other hand, thought it was normal.
Earlier, the mayor was ready to order his knights for an attack, but once Jake looked at him, the man's whole nature changed.
He had only corrupted Lombard and his guards by limiting the range of Degeneration Halo. Honestly, there was no need to use such a powerful skill on them, but Jake wanted no hassle.
''Use any room, milord. Everything I own is yours,'' Lombard enthusiastically said while spreading his hands.
