"Don't kill him immediately," Kadyn said with a nonchalant expression. "Get as much information as you can about the capital and its forces. Don't leave any clue behind or it would be troublesome.

He could become an eyesore in the near future if we let him live this time."
A shadow standing behind him nodded and then scattered abruptly, vanishing into thin air.
