Chapitre 693: Warning His People

Astaroth proceeded inside the room, where he found Rodney sitting at his desk, with only leather pants and a plain white shirt on. It was obvious he had been sleeping moments ago, with how the drowsiness still clung to his eyes.

But his sharp gaze was all but asleep.

Rodney was thinking about repercussions. He knew how the matriarchs thought.

"Sit down, sir. We have much to discuss."

"I was only coming to cancel out the lockdown order. I need to go back to my world to warn Phoenix about this as soon as possible."

Rodney nodded at him.

"I already cancelled the order. When the guard rushed in to start the lockdown procedures, they woke me up. And from there, I learned you were already on the scene. So I ordered the lockdown to be annulled."

Astaroth wasn't sure whether this was a sign of trust or mistrust.
