Chapter 80: Wrong place at the wrong time

"How long are they going to take? Can't they even accomplish a single task on time?" he commented in a tone filled with frustration, releasing a disgruntled sigh. "It seems I need to surround myself with more competent people."

Just as he was contemplating calling his personal guards to go out, a knock echoed through the room, breaking the silence.
"They have finally arrived?!" His eyes lit up with anticipation, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. "Excellent! Very well!"
