In a luxurious room, three men sat around a circular wooden table. The first was Edward, the principal of Nawarin Academy.
The second was Riguras, the boss and the local underworld leader of the Nawarin city.
And the third was the most influential among them. Wenton, the mayor of Nawarin City. He was an old man, and a silent authority radiated from his very presence.
"So, you are saying Angelica was not the only reason you decided to stop going after Athar?" Edward asked, his tone slightly bewildered.
Riguras scoffed in response.
"From what you and Vale described, though I may have become somewhat wary of her, she did not frighten me enough to make me back off. Whatever trick she played on you all, I would have found a way to counter her."
Edward nodded and questioned, "Then who is this person that made you decide to leave Athar alone?"
"There is this lady," Riguras sighed in frustration.
Edward narrowed his eyes, beckoning for Riguras to continue.
