Bab 178: The Bandit Uprising

"What exactly happened?" Marcius asked as he and Toros walked through the long hallway of the mansion and toward his office. "I thought the issue with the bandits is slowly getting under control."

"That was what most of us assumed as well. But it seemed that we were tricked unknowingly." Toros answered but was cut off when Marcius stopped at the entrance leading to the outside compound.

Marcius flicked his hand and the wolf demon beast inside his familiar ring leaped out. The beast turned to his master as if sensing that Marcius was currently upset.

"Go and wait for me at the stable. I have some of the staff from there ready with armor for you." He commanded.

Cloud yelped lowly and nodded his head. After that, the demon beast slowly turned and headed toward where the stable was located within the mansion's compound.

Marcius started walking again after letting his familiar out.
