Chapter 189 – Elder of the Outlaw Sect

“What does he want with me?”

Calron asked in a quiet voice. He was still contemplating why this person wanted to see him, and moreover, what he was doing with a criminal organization like the Outlaw Sect.

“I don’t know, but you’ll find out once you meet him. We already drew too much attention while coming here, so it’s best we leave as quickly as possible.”

The leader shrugged and signaled the others to prepare for departure. It was as if he already knew that Calron was coming with them before the young man gave his decision.

“Alright, but please remove those binds on them.”

Calron asked, his head pointing towards the constricted Roran and Avor on the floor. Roran tried to shout something through the elemental rope covering his mouth, but all that came out was a jumble of noises. Avor simply glared at the robed men silently.

“No need to worry, the binds will disappear in a few minutes. Now, let’s go.”

The leader chuckled at Roran’s attempt to talk and walked outside as the rest of his men followed behind him.

“I know who they want me to see, Roran, so rest easy until I return. Ellie, take care of them once the binds have disappeared.”

Calron turned around to address his friends just before he exited the shop as well.

“Master… ”

Ellie whispered with worry, staring at the door through which Calron exited the shop.

“That insolent bastard!”

Resir roared and slammed his fist against the wall, creating a small crater on the concrete.

After his humiliation in the throne room, Resir came back to his residence with the other nobles at the fifth tower. The tower was also known as the home of the Talok clan, a family that ruled over sixty-five percent of the entire city’s economic market.

They were the tower that the King had given the authority to oversee the taxes, banks, and any financial investment within the city. Most of the governmental offices and banks in the city were run by a member of the Talok clan.

Although they lacked powerful warriors, the Talok clan’s strength lied in their wealth. Even the King had to rely on them during times of war to equip the soldiers with weapons, armor, and rations. This was also the reason why the King couldn’t easily ignore Resir’s protest to distribute the slaves and had to call the Raizel clan to respond to their claims.

“My Lord, that boy looks like he will be a problem for our future plans, so we should eliminate the threat before it’s too late.”

One of the nobles started talking, ignoring the crater on the wall and sitting down on the sofa in the hall.

“You overestimate the boy, Leron. He’s just a kid, what could he possibly do to sabotage our plans?”

Another chubby noble interjected with a laugh and walked towards the large window at the side.

“I’m not talking about our current plan with the slaves, Furen. I’m talking about our true goal for the future. The plan that will change everything in the city.”

Leron’s eyes shined with a glint, causing the other nobles to immediately realize what he was talking about.

“There are still many years until we have to execute that plan. What does it have to do with the boy?”
