Sometime later, Watson returned to Count Gray's manor in the capital. There were tens of thousands of people waiting outside the manor, all scratching their ears and cheeks. The air was filled with an uneasy mood.
Count Gray stood at the front of those people. When he saw Watson return, he immediately went forward and knelt respectfully on one knee. "Master, I have completed your orders. I have gathered all the Severed Fingers members in the capital."
"Very good, well done."
"Master, you flatter me. I could not have done it without your help. If it weren't for the fact that you made Snick and Marcus into your subordinates, I would not have had the right to transfer their men here."
