Capítulo 299: Target

"... It seems that people have been keeping an eye on me, even more than I had expected," Branden said while squinting his eyes. "I messed up this time."

"What do you know about this city's lord?" Rain asked.

"... Perhaps I am not the best person to answer this," Branden replied.

"This city's lord is quite influential and has many allies, he also tried to win over Branden's mother after the death of his father was confirmed," Lorene replied. "I guess that is one reason for him not to like us that much."

"He also makes business with half of the people that we were going to investigate, so if he decided to do something that would trouble them… they would feel compelled to work with him, no matter what," Orcis said. "Still, there are no bad rumors about him and he didn't do anything until now that would make him feel suspicious."

"What are the chances of him contacting Leo before?" Rain asked.
