Milian snorted, turned away, and took a sip of tea from her thermos. She said:
"Don't underestimate me."
"Alright."
Murphy replied:
"Seeing you so confident puts me at ease. However, before I leave, there's one matter that needs handling. You can come along."
"Hmm?"
Milian looked at Murphy with surprise, but he offered no explanation.
It wasn't until the carriage stopped at the newly renovated entrance of the Crimson Corridor that the two disembarked. Murphy glanced back at the construction zone that had just been leveled. In a few days, Old Chen's planned Midnight Tower would begin construction here as a new symbol of the Crimson Castle.
Once complete, the tower would rise directly above the Crimson Corridor and integrate with the space below, becoming the new stronghold of the Blood Vulture Clan.
"Follow me."
