บท 502: Chapter 502 – Simon Leaves

"Your time as Governor is done," Nick said.

Markus furrowed his brows. "And who are you to make such a judgment?"

"It's not me making it. It's Aegis," Nick said.

Markus looked at Simon.

"Markus Julius, Aegis is not satisfied with how you have run Crimson City. The Left Arm has deemed you corrupt, and you will be guarding the entrance of the local stronghold for the foreseeable future."

"Corrupt?!" Markus shouted in rage and shock. "How am I corrupt?! I always gave Aegis the tribute every single year without fail! Even when half the city was destroyed by the Crimson Sea, I still managed to get enough Zephyx for Aegis! A corrupt Governor would have said that we couldn't pay, but I still paid everything!"

Simon didn't seem impressed. "This is not my decision, but the Left Arm's. You can send a letter of protest to her and state your case, but I wouldn't hope for anything."
