To Gain An Overlord's Favour

Meanwhile...

The alleyway was dimly lit, the soft glow of a flickering streetlamp casting long shadows along the streets. The moon hung high in the sky, shining its silver glow over the world below. In the distance, the faint hum of traffic echoed, but here, in this narrow passage, it was quiet.

A sleek black car idled near the entrance of the alley. Inside, Lady Lian sat elegantly, her posture relaxed, as if she were in complete control of her surroundings.

She held her phone in her delicate hand, her crimson-painted nails tapping softly against its casing. The screen displayed the recently ended call.

She gazed at the name on the screen:

Alister/Master Spade.

With a faint smile on her face, she lowered the phone to her lap. Her sharp eyes reflected the moonlight as she looked out the window and whispered to herself:

"It seems it was just as I suspected."

"Alister... Is Master Spade."
