Security was heavy around the city lord’sa leisurely afternoon nap Unfortunately for hient news “City Lord, the chief warden’s er wants an audience”
The wardens held the most power on the island as they represented the Rejuvenation Isles They grasped everyone’s fate in their handsand maintained basic order Of course, all they needed to do was to make sure that nobody escaped They didn’t care about the darkness, horror, and bloodshed that normally existed on the island
In fact, they seemed to prefer it It was the very essence of Winterdraw Island’s existence
Areatest poas their chief He was the central figure of the island with countlesshim He held everyone’s fate was in his palms
He could kill anyone with just a word if he pleased Sole, but death would still be ilect the ed to his feet, fixed his apparel, and sped off to ivewas extremely meek and docile However, the latter didn’t seeer’s brow arched “Lord Xie, the chief warden has received an order to return to the Isles A guest with status never seen before will be visiting Winterdraw The chief places great iiven task as soon as possible Don’t disappoint hierous warning tone had crept into theinto rage, Xie Wushang reassured thein le available resource to fulfill the chief’s orders Everything will be handled appropriately with no mistakes”
He was extremely afraid of the chief warden and didn’t dare be discourteous in the slightest Even a er was treated with full respect
“Good Ti royalty and nobles from the Rejuvenation Isles, but also exalted disciples from the Ten Divine Nations Conduct yourself well If you finish your tasks properly and appease the chief, he rant you freedom If you don’t, he’ll be faulted, and you know best what’ll happen to you then”
A chill ran down Xie Wushang’s spine He well and truly understood that it was different this ti orders from others
The chief was merely a subordinate to the senior executives in the Rejuvenation Isles If the task wasn’t handled appropriately, he’d also suffer at the hands of his supervisors The city lord would definitely be dead then
“I’ll spare no effort and do everything I can” Xie Wushang declared yet again
The estured dismissively “The chief wants results, not eress in Sin City is extreun to wonder if you’ve been lazy”
“Never! The city lord nht, I’ve said all I’ve coer didn’t waste anyHe stroked his chin and left with a turn He didn’t need to show Xie Wushang much respect since he was the chief warden’s confidante
Though the city lord was a little put out by theas the chief warden genuinely did value his confidante highly
It’d be best if the city lord greatly sped up progress on his given task
Afterabout it briefly, he assembled his closest subordinates “Pass onselection will be raised once more to an unprecedented level, with rewards and titles to match!”
His confidantes were taken aback This time’s selection had already been created out of thin air with very high standards And yet, the city lord was still unappeased and wanted to raise the bar oncea bit too hasty? Finding talent is i the line if you raise the level any further After all, the city lordand talented individuals And yet, their rewards and titles are only on par with the upco selection If you raise the bar once reed The selection is iven preferential treat subordinates grow cold?”
“We understand that the city lord thirsts for talent, but if you proceed with your plan, your long-serving subordinates will feel it unfair”
His subordinates gave sincere advice, and their arguh, it’ll be unfair for the veterans
Xie Wushang knew that his confidantes were right, but he sighed “Everyone, this is no longer within our control The chief warden’s er just arrived with a veiled threat He feels that we aren’t prioritizing this ress is too slow Apparently, the chief warden has grown very impatient”
“The chief warden?!”
“Is this selection being held by his command?”
The croas rendered speechless after learning about the chief’s involvement They could advise if the matter was contained to only within Sin City But since the chief was involved, they no longer had the right to speak, nor would they dare to
