Stepping into the Trap
As Benjamin hurried to the castle at full speed, two elders from the Night Blades arrived at the secret base located around the castle. Elder Howard was very pleased with the success of his disciples.
"The success of your operation has exceeded my expectations by far. I will provide you with generous rewards. Each of you will receive a piece of rare equipment," Elder Howard said with a smile to the members of the Night Blades before him.
Although Elder Howard was generally a very stingy person, he understood that he needed to motivate his subordinates' morale at critical moments.
The members of the Night Blades were very excited upon hearing Elder Howard's words. They all expressed their gratitude to him.
Elder Kent had been observing from the side, and in his view, Elder Howard's actions were nothing more than a waste of their time.
