Chương 270: Chapter 221: Entering the Shadow Demon Domain_2

The captain had unknowingly revealed the truth, but everyone present failed to realize it.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. These events have already happened, and discussing them now is pointless."

A woman with a pretty face spoke solemnly:

"The most crucial matter right now is for us to figure out how to handle the Earl's wrath."

After heeding her words, the others present fell silent.

How are they to explain this?

They cannot just say that they were incompetent. That during Earl Lane's absence, not only had there been a theft from the treasury, but they were also unable to trace the culprit, could they?

"Does anyone know the whereabouts of the Earl?"

"He's still in the Shadow Demon Domain and has not returned yet."

"Then do any of you know when the Earl will be back? It would be more convenient for us to prepare in advance."

"How would we know the Earl's intentions? All we know is that he won't be back today. As for if he will come back tomorrow, no one can be sure."
