The old man's expression froze for a long while, until Cheng Guang grew a bit impatient. When Cheng Guang asked again, the old man finally snapped out of it.
"Princely... Princely Heir..."
The old man's expression was stiff as he swallowed nervously, feeling inexplicably terrified about the offense he had just committed.
Cheng Guang, however, had no intention of taking him to task over it. He waved it off and asked once more.
"Old uncle, where should a Black Lantern Steward like myself go to gather personnel?"
The old man quickly stood up, bowing respectfully, "Princely Heir, just call me 'old man' is fine."
"When constables from the Bureau of the Lamp go out to handle cases or carry out missions and need manpower, they usually draw from within the organization. A White Lantern Catcher can command ten Black Lantern Catchers. As for the Black Lantern Catchers who are the lowest ranked, they can only be assigned some extra-institutional members."
