บท 101: 2.27.5 Bring him out

Varkus Maisel looked around himself, finding familiar faces all around, making him understand how much corruption there was hidden inside this city.

Some of them even included mages who hid their face under a hood, but that hood couldn't hide the energy they radiated from their bodies.

And then in front of him was a boy that he had mistaken as a victim. Which when added to the knowledge of how Maxim had used the same boy during his investigations into the dream. He understood that they never had a chance to succeed at this point.

"At least, the injury on your arm is real." 

How many were there working for Blue Lotus? Maisel didn't know, as from the looks of it, one can even call this whole city the center for all Blue Lotus activity.
