"Milord, I feel like the rumors might be somewhat off..."
In the ruins of a city blanketed by the shadow of the Star Realm, Murphy and Maxim were hastily making their way across somber, desolate streets toward the clan's warehouse in the outer city.
As they moved, Maxim, armed with a battle spear, cautiously surveyed his surroundings for any potential attacks, and in a hushed voice addressed Murphy.
"Lady Cui Si doesn't seem as... I mean, she's quite dominant! Even more so than Sir Jed. After you rescued her from the city, she seems to have regained the dignity of her past status as an elder."
"I'm not sure what happened either, but one thing's for sure, Cui Si absolutely despises this city."
Murphy sighed.
"She sees this place as a confinement. In harsh terms, after witnessing the ravages inflicted upon Cardman City, Cui Si and I are probably the only two members of the Blood Vulture Clan who feel relieved at the sight.
Does that make you uncomfortable?"
