Danius remained silent, too afraid to speak, fearing that he might slip and anger this man. To think that woman had someone like him as a friend—he was utterly screwed!
"Yes, my friend, you're absolutely screwed," Aldrian said with a casual wave of his hand. "You and your shadow guards are in deep trouble because of your arrogance. Fortunately, you met me. If it had been someone else, you might have lost your life for offending the wrong person."
Danius wanted to curse Aldrian in a thousand different ways inside his mind, but even that seemed impossible—this man appeared to know exactly what he was thinking.
"Anyway, you and those shadow guards of yours already have slave seals. I hope you'll work well together," Aldrian said, walking ahead. Then, with a smile, he added, "Oh, as a thank you, I'll give you a clue about my secret: I'm the one so many people are looking for."
