575 Ironwood Assassination.

BOOM!

Out of nowhere, an explosion rocked the entire city of Ironwood, causing everyone to look outside, only to see a large mushroom cloud that rose above the city walls.

"That came from the direction of the Karius families' mine." A member of the Ulrik family immediately reported the situation to the family head.

"What or who is behind the explosion?" The Family head asked as he and his brother watched the mushroom cloud through the carriage window.

"We are yet to receive information on that, sir."

After some thinking, the family head pressed the communication button and spoke to the carriage driver. "Turn the Carriage around and return to the mansion."

"Yes sir!" The driver did as instructed without questioning.

"My gut feeling is telling me that the explosion isn't all to it." The head of the Ulrik family said.

"Same here." His brother replied without delving deep into the matter.
