As the Bass and Katie families clashed fiercely, Feng Jue led Lord's men straight to the Katie family manor.
Inside the manor, Devon frowned as he received the news. "Lord? Our Katie family has never done business with them. Why are they coming after us?"
The manor's butler looked uneasy. "They claim there's a traitor from Lord hiding in our manor, and they want to conduct a search."
Devon was livid. "Lord's pushing it too far! Do they really think they can search my family's manor on a whim? I want to see which hall master dares be this arrogant!"
The butler hesitated. "It's not a hall master. It sounds like it's Lord's leader himself."
Devon's expression shifted.
If it were just one of Lord's hall masters, Devon wouldn't hesitate to teach him a lesson for even suggesting such an insult. But if the request came from Lord's leader, things wouldn't be that simple.
"Why is Lord getting involved now, of all times?" he muttered.
