Did this bastard deserve to die? Yes. Ayen knew that once the knife pointing at his neck disappeared, Auxia's resentment would surge once more.
His grudge against Aurelle would also increase.
Yet, Ayen would not kill him. The timing was not right. Although he was favored, Auxia was still part of this family.
"Where is that Julius now?" Ayen began his series of questions once more. Auxia was already terrified, and he answered the questions much more smoothly.
"He's, probably at the association." Seeing Ayen's heavy gaze on him, Auxia quickly added, "I don't know. We're not friends. You know it too. He only approaches me to... to harm you."
Ayen's expression did not reveal anything as he asked a few more questions. Auxia answered them. Ayen did not know if he was telling the truth, but he let it be.
It was not too late to make him accountable once he had more information in his hands.
