Conquest { XXXIII }

"What do you mean the staff of authority is missing? Are you telling a joke or what?" Rowan asked with a dark expression on his face.

Fagin remained speechless as he looked at the ground, as if seeking an answer from it.

He couldn't even believe his own discovery; the staff missing meant someone was already planning to seize his position from the very beginning.

That person might have hidden the staff of authority, waiting for the perfect moment to strike and seize his position. But he couldn't help but wonder who that person was and where they had taken his staff of authority.

The realization that the position he was proud of had already been sabotaged before the war made him even more dejected.

Rowan observed his expression and demeanor, he could tell that Fagin was telling the truth.

'Fuck, this is the only way I can get my hands on a staff of authority right now!' Rowan cursed inwardly.
