Inside the Governor Mansion, the Governor stood silently on the balcony while staring directly into the cold night.
It was as if he wanted to pry open the secrets hidden within the darkness itself. His eyes were sharp and focused.
A few steps behind him stood his butler. His aged face carried a solemn expression.
The atmosphere felt heavy.
Even the night wind blowing through the courtyard carried an unsettling chill.
'Why is everything still silent?' The butler thought while creasing his brows deeply.
Tonight, they had deliberately sent a group to probe the Thousand Wealth Chamber. The mission was simple. They only wanted to test the waters.
Yet hours had already passed without any news returning.
It was as if the men they sent had vanished from existence completely.
'Could they have all been killed?' The thought suddenly appeared within his mind.
However, he quickly shook his head and rejected the possibility.
