Something Bad Is Brewing…

Kieran wasn't unfamiliar with the place marked on the map, as it was the same place where he had met Karles last time.

When he recalled how Karles was killed within his own room, Kieran frowned. He knew that the peace right now was just the calm before the storm.

The storm would be coming any minute, and as for him?

He had to accumulate more strength before that storm.

As the thought came, Kieran didn't stay behind any longer. He boarded the train and headed to the outer block of the city.

...

Meanwhile, inside the dark room, the usual five people were still sitting around the table.

"The latest news shows that 2567 is heading to the outer city in search of Swordsmith Alisritter," one of them said leisurely.

"This is a chance for us," the person sitting opposite said.

"A chance? You said it was a chance the last time, too, when we sent someone to test him and look how that turned out in the end."
