With great helplessness, Colby Dominic, the Central Prison Commander and Supreme cultivator of the Sixth Great Realm, led his subordinates to capture the Summit Commandant, Owen Bertram, only to return in disgrace... Losing face! When the word spreads later, the Central Prison will not be able to hold its head up among the Five Great Powers of the Horizon Bureau.
But would he go and meet the Emperor with Owen Bertram? He didn't have the courage. Colby Dominic was at least 70% sure that those Southern Border soldiers were hidden in Owen Bertram's mansion.
Colby Dominic knew the Emperor well; he was someone who favored personal relationships over justice. This "favoritism" did not refer to relatives, but to whoever the Emperor decided to favor. Apparently, His Majesty and Owen Bertram had become close recently, so if Colby went to the palace with Owen, the Emperor would scold him before he could even speak.
