Dragging the Culprit

The boss tried to speak so Ning loosened his control over the air. 

"It… It was…"

Ning listened to the name of the person who gave him the order and was surprised. Ning confirmed it once more and the boss gave the same name.

"I had expected it to be the duke since your men were staying there. But… to think it was him," Ning was truly surprised. 

"Please let us go. I answered your question," the boss cried out. 

"That doesn't mean you didn't try to kill me," Ning said. In a flick of a finger, he gathered all of the men and grabbed them.

In the next moment, they were gone. 

Ning appeared outside of the city walls, dragging the men with his Aether arts. When the guards saw him, they immediately drew their weapons in response.

"Wait right there," they shouted.

"Go call someone with higher authority. You have some terrorists here," Ning said.
