Durin's Diary

Durin stroked the black cat on the armrest of his chair, sitting on the black leather sofa. Through the glasses perched on his nose, his gaze passed over the long table in front of him and settled on the man kneeling on the carpet: "I understand, you've made money in Naples, your business has been very successful, and you've led a happy life. You've had those secret police, friends in both the law and the underground, and even the Royal Family speaking on your behalf." "You don't need a friend like me, I know that. You're afraid of owing me a favor, and you don't want to get involved in troubles." "But now you come to me and say, 'I beg you, Mr. Durin of the Corleon family, please help me seek justice, so that my life and my family will not suffer and sink into despair.' Yet, in your eyes, I was nothing more than a second-rate artist involved in movies and music. Even at the brink of death, you still show me such disrespect, not even willing to call me by my title... Keeper of Secrets."

Chapter 205: The End of the Map

Anta finally left reluctantly.

There was no helping it, as Durin had a pass and could move freely in the Circle, but Anta couldn't; she was only allowed to come in for a while because the security staff made an exception for old Liz.

Durin didn't want any exceptions, nor did he want to become one.

So Durin walked Anta to the front door of the Mage Academy, where he also encountered Irene.

The little bird immediately started chirping joyfully and flew into Durin's arms upon seeing him.

"You've grown a little taller," Durin said, hugging her with some confusion.

"So have you," Irene said, sizing up Durin as she spoke.

But no matter, it's not important to split hairs over a half-blood's growth—they always get taller in time.

After saying goodbye to the two girls, Durin was about to head back to the Circle when a black dragon blocked his path.

"You've got the nerve to show up here!" he said, glaring at Durin with a hostile expression.

Durin was stunned, "Who are you?"
