The Magistrate of Iron Mountain County's eyes widened a fraction, his gaze tinged with a hint of indignation as he stared down the newcomer, and with gritted teeth, he issued a warning, "Who are you? Do you know where you are?"
Thinking about the lump of mangled human flesh plastered against the wall sent a shiver down his spine.
The way he looked at the imposing stranger began to show thick caution.
And... a hint of fear that he couldn't quite conceal!
In the mouths of many townsfolk, the Magistrate of Iron Mountain County was a gluttonous, dog-eating official, which meant he was not a foolish man.
Especially since he had been greedy in Iron Mountain County for so long without being brought down by the Imperial Court, it further proved he was no fool.
Earlier, when he saw that lump of mangled flesh, he already knew that the visitor boded ill.
