"Why would the Night Blades set a trap here?! I clearly confirmed that there were no Night Blades' bases in the area! Where on earth did these Night Blades' rats come from?!" James furrowed his brows and spoke to himself in an angry tone as he stared at the trap in front of him.
After saying this, James quickly lifted his head and nervously scanned his surroundings. The area around the trap was a small patch of woods. While some of the trees were quite tall, the forest itself was not extensive. This meant that it was impossible for a large number of Night Blades members to be hiding within.
This led James to arrive at a conclusion that was difficult for him to accept: There must have been a secret base of the Night Blades around the castle all along. His previous searches had yielded no results whatsoever.
