"Got it."
"Good," Mathieu replied and moved aside. "When you go inside, don't say a word. Let Roger speak first."
Rael nodded one last time and walked up to the door. He knocked a couple of times and then slowly swung the door open.
Immediately, he was met with a large office. But despite its size, it was pretty empty.
Sure, there was a couch, a few arcade games, and even the main desk, but Rael expected much more from the supposed leader of the Blazing Sun Knight Brigade.
As expected, the man named Roger sat leisurely behind his desk. He was old, and he had a long gray beard. Despite that, the strength in his gaze alone made Rael hesitant to approach.
But for the sake of a good boon, he resisted it and slowly walked toward Roger's desk.
The faint scent of fresh books lingered in the air, but that was not all. The closer Rael got to Roger, the stronger the smell of blood became, eventually drowning out the scent of fresh books.
