Felipe left the warehouse with his entourage that almost rivalled the Lord's. The Lord did not mind this at all. Rather, he was the one who assigned so many guards to him!
Not only was his brain foggy, but he believed Felipe was his most important resource! In his mind, these guards would also help him monitor Felipe and make sure he didn't stray away, or that none of his rivals could get to him at all.
He had no idea that they had long been Felipe's people and had tasted the drugs even before the Lord did. At this time, they were extremely loyal to him and could feed the Lord any information Felipe ordered them to.
Anyway, Felipe had no worries and just focused on his work, knowing full well he was protected.
Unbeknownst to him, there was someone watching their movements, a robed man who was focused on observing him. However, due to the number of guards, the man had to step back in the end.
