Liam left with his people, and the City Lord thought to look at what was inside the pouch when Liam's words came back to him. He put the pouch away and sighed in relief, knowing that the man was gone. He had wasted a considerable amount of resources on him but got nothing in return.
Maybe he had given him something good?
So he left his wife and daughter alone and went to his office. He knew this room was the most secure, but he had another place for something like that. And that's where he was going. After all, the entrance to that room was connected to various parts of the mansion.
He soon arrived and locked the heavy door behind him. There was another some distance away, and he ensured that it was also locked before he opened the pouch and peeked inside.
His eye widened in shock.
A core.
There was a core in that pouch.
