Before the beggar left, he asked one final question, "Before I go, would you happen to know how exactly our movements got leaked, acquiring the attention of the City Lord?"
The old man shook his head, "No, but he suddenly called me in today and asked if there were any anomalies. I don't think that he suspects me, but it would be better to strike before he digs any deeper"
After pondering for a moment, the man dressed in the beggar's outfit walked away, turning a corner and disappearing from view.
Seeing the man walk away, the old man walked back into the manor through the back door. He soon made his way out using the front door and into the bustling city.
Right at that moment, the City Lord's steed could be seen landing in front of the luxurious building that stood out from the rest. Ming Long got off, accompanied by 3 youngsters whom no one had seen before.
