Charles broke out in a cold sweat in an instant.
After circling around the merchant ship seven or eight times, he still saw no sign of Julian Asilo, and his heart suddenly missed a beat.
Gazing out at the sea, the warship carrying the Augusladin High Priest had long disappeared from view. Being much faster than the merchant ship, even if he were to give chase now, it would be impossible to catch up before the ship reached the Inglima Empire.
Charles bit his lip, wisely deciding to abandon the chase and to remind the Augusladin High Priest that a spy from the Byron Empire had snuck aboard his ship.
If he didn't go and warn them, he could still claim to have no knowledge of this matter. If he did catch up, how could he explain knowing that Julian Asilo had infiltrated the group? Surely he couldn't say that he was the one who brought him in?
Moreover, if there were to be an incident, it would have already occurred by now; there was truly no way to change anything.
