Chapter 68: Golden Lion

The people following behind Isaac were clowns of the greatest circus in all of the empire. It took wit to entertain humans in large circuses, certainly, but to entertain rats living in the sewers required talent of the highest order.

And as one would expect from such talents down in the sewers, the Sire's league took next to no time to adjust to their role in this place.

Walking as if they owned the ministry, Lion and Gold were killing their performance. Sire was still confused, but he had a whale in the game on his side.

Taking the lead, Isaac with his own collar pulled up like a mask seemed to fit right into place.

The people who saw Isaac recognized him without a second's delay, and his irrefutable reputation as a genius and master of his craft, the halo effect naturally fell on the ones behind him.
