Chapter 56: Steward

"Master Jun, I still don't get it. Why would Steward take the scrolls just so we could go to him instead of just coming after me and kidnapping me?" Julius asked his master.

"I see, we're going to have to boost your intelligence as well. However, since you don't know as of now, I'll explain it to you. If Steward was to try to come to us, he would only be able to bring his best warriors to travel such a long distance. Without having a secret art such as my jade dragon, travel with large groups would be nearly impossible. As such, I alone could cost him a couple dozen of his best men. I might even be able to get him as well if he manages to slip up for a split second," said Jun as he attempted to brag to his student that he might be able to take on a ruler of a great kingdom and still come out on top.
