Rayven took a deep breath as he absorbed the information he had just heard from Ardania.
The Count? That wasn't a name thrown around lightly. In Hesa City, the Count was more than a noble, he was basically the spine of the region's administration. He was the force behind every permit, every budget, every military deployment.
He rarely appeared in public, and when he did, it was always during a ceremony or a high-profile event.
If the Count was truly involved, it could be very dangerous for him.
"You're serious…" he said after seeing Ardania's eyes..
Ardania nodded. "I wouldn't be here if I weren't."
Rayven tapped the edge of the desk as he needed to think this through carefully. "You said the Dungeon Outbreak wasn't random. That something triggered it. And you think the Count is involved?"
