Li Wei walked through the small manor.
Though the manor was small, it had all the amenities.
A garden, a small pond, a lawn, a small plaza.
It had everything.
Lair sat on a large mahogany chair. Standing before him was the manor's owner, a down-on-his-luck nobleman.
"Mage Lair, I've really done my best this month."
"People are investigating everywhere. I was almost discovered last time. Luckily, I know the patrolling Guard Captain. I paid him off to cover for me."
The nobleman showed a completely subservient attitude in front of Lair.
Lair didn't even glance at him. "I'll give you two more days. Bring me at least three living people."
"I don't care what methods you use. The ritual must be completed this month."
"You don't want the Power inside you to spiral out of control, do you?"
Hearing this, the nobleman gritted his teeth and said, "Fine. I'll find a way."
Li Wei stood outside the door. Hearing their conversation, his eyes narrowed.
