A few days later...
After news of James Cromwell's death had spread throughout the region, Minos had also discovered that his action had been successful.
Earlier, he had attacked that man, having used one of his swords to go through the body of his target. However, Minos had managed to do this on the limit, as at that moment, James was already about to be teleported.
With this, he had not been sure whether his target had only suffered severe damage or had suffered a fatal blow, as was the purpose of the attack.
And so, Minos had been relieved to find that his actions had indeed generated satisfactory results, granting him a good achievement, coupled with greater regional prestige.
Minos naturally did not care what outsiders thought of him. But he was not stupid to think that there was no value in fame, prestige, etc.
