A few hours earlier. During the announcement of the heroes' return to the kingdom. A chaotic scene was unfolding inside a familiar luxurious office.
"HE'S ALIVE ?!!!" A thunderous roar tore through the entire building.
Victor, appearing almost deranged, with his monstrous strength, flung his entire office table through the air and at the far end wall, only a couple of inches away from taking out Aeric's head as he bent to the side.
"I'm sorry. My lord…." Areric apologised, kneeling and looking very repentant.
He had just informed Victor that the hero of item box was also among those who had made it back to the palace…
meaning the assassination attempt, which had cost Victor quite a huge sum, had actually failed spectacularly.
"My lord. I will contact the head of the branch syndicate and make sure to get an explanation for all this." Aeric mumbled in determination.
