Seeing that the look on the middle-aged man's face had started to turn ugly, a furious expression appeared on Zhao Lan's face as he then asked
''Don't tell me that he got captured by one of those idiots who surrounded the inn! Who was it?''
Feeling the berserk aura around Zhao Lan growing stronger, the middle-aged man's face paled, before he hurriedly shook his head and responded with an awkward tone
''Lord Zhao, you are mistaken. That kid wasn't captured!
It is just that... he seemed to have disappeared!''
Zhao Lan was dumbfounded when he heard the middle-aged man's answer, while the berserk aura around him immediately dispersed.
''Disappeared?''
When he had heard about what happened in Shun Long's courtyard from the middle-aged man, Zhao Lan had expected for Shun Long to come to the 'Alchemists' Guild' begging for help.
