章節 38: Chapter 38 Coercion and Bribery

Under the coercion of the guards, Ivan arrived at this manor-style residence located in the center of the city for the second time, where the steward was waiting at the main gate. Led by the old steward, he was taken into the manor and brought to a place that was clearly the main hall.

"Young man, welcome to Karl Manor once again."

A middle-aged noble with a warm greeting was none other than Baron Karl, whom he had met once before.

Ivan said, "Baron, your way of welcoming people is truly memorable."

Baron Karl laughed and said, "Hahaha, it was a necessary measure. I hope those underneath me didn't act too brashly and injure you."

Looking at the Baron's attitude, Ivan was filled with suspicion. The guards before had almost drawn their swords in threat, and now he was putting on this act for whom exactly?

He didn't speak, and Baron Karl didn't mind.
