"I've failed you,"
the man with the wooden expression said somewhat awkwardly, hanging his head.
Duke Dundis, however, waved his hand and shook his head, saying, "It's not your fault. That young lady is an apprentice of Ta • Lasha, being caught by someone like her is nothing to be ashamed of. Moreover, at a time like this, it's normal for everyone to keep an eye on one another, that's why she merely sent you away."
Clearly, from the start, Duke Dundis wasn't afraid of his 'intelligence officers' being discovered by others. As he had just said, as the Judgment Day draws nearer, it has become normal for everyone to spy on each other. The old man was almost certain that while he had sent out quite a few people to monitor various 'good friends', there would definitely be people from the Fire Claw, Baroka, Simon, Hussein, and the Crystal Wolf Family at the doorstep of his estate.
