Claude could not stop himself from swearing when he noticed that they were on their way to the palace. Claude thought that it was Lily and Zhou Jingren. However, how could they blatantly bring him to the palace? Did this mean they were not afraid of the Duke's authority?

"You are taking me to the palace?"

Unfortunately, none of the four people who escorted him earlier answered. "What about my grandmother? Did you find her?" Again, no one answered. "Are you deaf?" he grumbled.

Slowy, their car pulled inside the palace's underground parking area. After a few minutes Claude was ushered inside the palace. Where another set of people welcomed him. This time, he was flabbergasted. The people escorting them were guards of the Grand Duke! These were people who always accompanied the Grand Duke in his travels. He eyed the tall and bulky men wearing tactical attire as they escorted him to a corridor that he was not very familiar with. What was going on? He wondered.
