Bab 1449: A Heroine

Hao Xuan lowered him back on top of the staircase and loosened his grip, releasing the rodent-like man into the maze.

Without wasting a second his beady little eyes began to swivel back and forth looking for an opportunity to escape.

"I wouldn't suggest that...this city is only so big. Why spend the rest of your days wondering what's waiting for you around the corner when you can make an ally with a little bit of effort?" Hao Xuan reiterated, "And what's this?"

Luz turned around to see him holding an old handkerchief. It was rather worn out with some stains on both sides but the material it was made of could not have been easy to come by in this place. Not to mention the small insignia of some beast in the corner that made it look quite fancy.

Hao Xuan had only taken it as a show of force but Luz's reaction was not one he expected.

"When did you!- P-Please, give it back! I swear on my life I won't run away!" he fell to his knees in tears, begging for it back.
