Oliver's eyes widened in shock as Fujikiri's words hung in the air. He took a step back, feeling the weight of betrayal and confusion. "Capture me? But... why?"

He was ready to attack her, if needed but still after seeing how she dealt with Isabella, Oliver had to wonder whether it would be useful to against her.

Fujikiri's smile didn't waver as she explained, "It's just business, Oliver. Someone's willing to pay a handsome sum for your capture, and I can't ignore such a lucrative offer."

Oliver's mind raced as he tried to make sense of the situation. Who was trying to pay a fee for him? He didn't even make any enemies in this Dynasty because he wanted to stay undercover without meeting any important members of the government. After all, there was a chance that, they might identify Oliver.

Oliver's eyes narrowed as he pressed Fujikiri for more information. "Who gave you those orders?" he demanded.
