Bab 120: Water and Fire

7 AM, at the East Gate of the Redwood Royal City.

A few of the horse carriers ran through the official's street outside of the East Gate. As if he were a dragon and his horse a tiger, the Redwood King brought the four Stage Nine Elders and all the Stage Eight Elders to gather outside the East Gate.

On the official’s street, all the passersby and merchants were forbidden to ride on it. Emergency measures had been imposed outside the East Gate.

Of course, the Redwood King had his own reasons for doing it this way. He did not want the outside world to know that he was the culprit behind the case of those missing girls.

Although he was the supreme ruler of a Territory, he still needed to care for his reputation even if he had proclaimed those strong words to Qin Wushuang.
