"City Lord Rocky, are you satisfied with these decisions of the council?"
After finishing the statement about the compensation the council decided upon for the assassination attempt on Rocky, Huson asked with a smile. Yet, although he appeared to be asking Rocky, his eyes were actually on Aniye!
Because Huson was very clear that all of this had been orchestrated by Aniye, so only with Aniye's nod could this messy affair finally be considered settled.
Indeed, for Huson, the assassination attempt on Rocky was truly a troublesome matter.
The incident itself was not significant, but its impact on Eternal City was undeniably negative. On the other hand, the people involved also gave him a headache. Orton alone was annoying enough, but now there was an even more difficult Aniye to deal with. Compared to the bumbling Orton, Aniye was clearly much more cunning and shrewd, so all Huson wanted now was to end this affair as quickly as possible—the quicker, the better.
