章 1367: Rule the underworld

He knew it.

It was an ambush, and he walked right through it.

"We are glad you can join us." Alfred expressed, laughing and mocking him for falling into their hands.

"I always knew you have it in you to brave the lion's mouth." The older man complimented him. But he did not see it that way.
