As soon as they entered the building, they saw the imperial guards fighting against a lone man.
It was a middle-aged man with a shaggy beard. He was holding onto a doll with his left hand and a sword in the other.
Using his sword, he fended off the imperial guards.
Alaric used his Appraisal on him and realized that this person was their target.
"What's going on here?" Alaric asked a trembling junior inspector who was hiding behind a cabinet.
"We were just chatting with him when he suddenly attacked us. We hadn't even mentioned anything about the cult, but he attacked the imperial guards." The inspector replied in a shaking voice.
Alaric furrowed his eyebrows.
"How dare you touch my daughter?! Leave at once if you don't want to die!" A furious roar echoed through the building.
Alaric turned his head and saw the target pointing his sword at the imperial guards with eyes filled with anger.
