Capítulo 301: Broken Trust

As infuriating as her arrival was, Lumin's takeover of Kir's duties became a welcome opportunity for him to carry out even bigger strikes against the Syndicate. By the end of the week, he'd burned down a half dozen plantations, careful to let the slaves know in advance so they could get their people out.

Lumin's friend Quilliam did his work out of Kir's sight, arranging passage for escaped slaves to Norneau, mostly overland along the lake shore, and Kir left him to it. The problem remained, however, that the Syndicate would remain in Amrita as long as they had gold in the city. And he'd promised Lumin that gold in exchange for her cooperation, long before her "friends" came into the picture.
