Sedir had escaped for a while. Even the ripples left on the water’s surface were nowhere to be seen. Sista, standing in the room of the inn, finally touched her body in shock, then breathed a sigh of relief: "That scared me to death, I thought it was some permanent spell!" While affected by the spell of "Capitalism," Sista was almost helpless in that weakened state. Her biggest concern at the time was that it was a powerful curse with a permanent effect. And now, with Sedir’s departure. Sista could also feel the effects on her body dissipate, her physical and mental strength starting to return to normal. Now, I can finally breathe easy... "You guys, check this room!" On the other side, unlike Sista, who was relieved to be out of danger, the leader of the Entrodd agents had already begun to efficiently direct his colleagues: "Bolt, you take Desak and track that person by the water route, he must be a dangerous figure!" Once the main task was assigned, this Entrodd agent then shifted his attention back to Ronald in the room. He knew in his heart that the man in front of him was a powerful original holder. even though it might offend this person, he couldn’t avoid talking to Ronald. With a slight adjustment of his expression, the agent spoke up immediately: "Mr. Ronald, if you don’t mind, could you tell us who was in conflict with Miss Sista earlier?" "To maintain the safety of Waterfall City and Entrodd, this is a necessary task for us." "I hope you understand." Ronald looked at the man in front of him and naturally smiled. "Of course, I understand." Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥 "The person who ran away just now... should be called Sedir." "You might know her too, right?" "Sedir?!" Upon hearing this name, the agent leader was even momentarily shocked into silence. However, he quickly controlled his expression and continued to confirm in a quite suppressed tone, "Mr. Ronald, this matter is of great importance to us." "Can you provide more information about her?" Ronald shook his head in bewilderment, denying: "I wouldn’t know about that." "Earlier, Sedir and I were purely engaged in an academic exchange on the mystical side, without touching on any political issues or discussions related to Entrodd." "And I’m not really knowledgeable about the affairs of ordinary people..." With Ronald’s explanation, the agent’s face visibly darkened. Of course, he didn’t believe Ronald’s nonsense. But the man in front of him was different from the average residents of Waterfall City or the usual mystical casters. This was someone whom even Lord Ryle had repeatedly instructed not to offend unless absolutely necessary. If he rashly acted out of line, the situation tonight could spiral out of control! Thus, the agent took a deep breath. He wisely chose not to continue speaking with Ronald, instead turning around to give orders to his colleagues: "Terlina, go relay this message—the second-in-command of the rebels just jumped into the lake of Waterfall City. Have the others guard all points strictly and pass this information up the chain." Once the most urgent task was explained, the agent’s gaze then roamed around the room where an explosion had just occurred: "Sista, I’ll manage the scene here, you go get professionals from the investigation department to come here, this is a crucial opportunity to capture the rebels, we must not miss it!" "Zade, follow behind Bolt at approximately a five-minute distance to confirm that there are no fish slipping through his search..." distributed by the agent without hesitation. However, after arranging all the tasks, he took on the most important and unpredictably dangerous job himself—staying at the inn where Ronald resided. And he still had to communicate with the cultist Sista. Later, everything settled back into a quiet normalcy. Until a quarter of an hour passed. Ryle, with a grim face, barged into the inn with two of his trusted subordinates. On the way to the inn, the Entrodd agent leader had already grasped the full picture. So when he saw Ronald and Costate still in the same place, Ryle questioned unhesitatingly: "Mr. Ronald, you could have informed us of Sedir’s appearance!" Facing Ryle’s strong stance, Ronald chose to explain with a smile: "Ryle, you must understand that I’m also part of the mystical side." "Sedir is undoubtedly a powerful original holder now, and I’m unaware of or familiar with the forces behind her. So to ensure my position doesn’t err, I can’t possibly act directly against a strong figure with an entirely unknown identity and background." Ryle, of course, couldn’t accept this explanation. But after being fobbed off by Ronald, he still calmed down and slightly softened his tone: "However, Ronald, you are now accepting our Entrodd official invitation to Waterfall City, and we’re covering your stay expenses." "Under these circumstances, I hope you can respect Entrodd’s official stance and perspective." As Ryle’s attitude changed, Ronald’s tone naturally shifted accordingly: "I’m well aware of that." "So whether before or now, I’ve never once proactively helped Sedir, and earlier, I risked great danger entering the Dream Mirror to help you rescue Torrex." "As for my stance toward Entrodd..." "I think there shouldn’t be any issues!" "Very well, since you insist." Faced with such a response, Ryle gave Ronald a long look. Ronald’s stubborn attitude had made him understand where the lines were between both parties. But Ronald was not just any caster whom he could easily manipulate. The pair before him weren’t opponents that Entrodd hoped to confront even under normal circumstances, let alone in such a fraught and chaotic situation as now. Under these conditions, All he could do was let it go for now... Ryle quickly made his decision and immediately turned to his subordinates: "Alright, you don’t need to stay here any longer." "Let’s regroup and do our best to lock down the waterways in the city." With a simple command, Ryle turned to Sista, raising his voice suddenly: "You! Sista, you follow along with me!"
