"Yeah. The traitors had only just received these crystals from Serpent City. When we arrived, they were in the middle of finding beastmen to test them on.
Thankfully, we rooted them out just in time, or else plenty of innocent beastmen in Blazing Flame City would have lost their lives." A flicker of rage flared in Rin's eyes.
"Grandpa, why did Serpent City suddenly send them these things?" Setan asked.
"Serpent City wanted to strike a deal with them, seemingly involving some kind of medicine. We were discovered before we could overhear any more critical details. The traitors were all silenced by the Serpent City beastmen, and the ones sent to deliver the crystals chose to commit suicide rather than be captured. However, two of them still managed to escape."
Rin's eyes narrowed slightly. "They probably won't send any more beastmen over anytime soon. We're still scouring the city to see if there are any other hidden spies or lingering agents from Serpent City."
