Not only had something happened, it was something major.
Lord Shen was gone.
If this wasn't a major incident, then nothing was.
Everyone was quiet and timid, not daring to speak up.
This matter was indeed their fault. They had to take the blame, whether they wanted to or not.
Seeing that no one was speaking, Yao Long's expression darkened like a storm cloud. "Guard this place well. Lord Shen has likely been plotted against. With Lord Shen's talent for Overcoming Adversity and Attacking Upward, he might be fine."
"I'll send someone to the Observatory immediately. Hopefully, the two Landlords will have a solution."
In truth, this was the best course of action.
They couldn't afford for Lord Shen to be missing while another problem arose here. If that happened, they'd likely be finished in an instant.
The men could only nod in agreement.
Yao Long stared at the empty pit, his expression growing ever darker.
...
「Outside.」
