By the end of the day, the news about Companion Shuu being missing spread everywhere. Even the temples and normal merchants knew about it. Many cities had already closed their gates and were carrying out inspections on their people.
The assassin noticed this and cursed his luck.
"Tsk, it seems like there are too many security checks. We will need to take a detour to avoid getting detected."
Shuu looked at the assassin and followed him reluctantly.
It had been a whole day since he was forced to follow the assassin, and he had kept looking for ways to run away the whole day. But the assassin was too thorough and did not give Shuu any openings.
Shuu did not want to risk his life, so he did not actually go through with any fake openings he found. He also kept a close eye on what people were talking about, and that was when he heard the news-Emperor Kaiden was back.
Hearing this made Shuu feel better but also bitter at the same time.
