Chapter 174 I Need Your Blood

Lide and Emi stepped out of the tavern, exchanging a glance that instantly eased their tension.

Despite their effortless demeanor inside the tavern, they both knew that any slip could lead to a brutal fight.

Infiltrating the heart of enemy territory is always thrilling and dangerous, but of course, the rewards are equally great.

Lide now had a plan to confront the Dark Contract, rather than simply lamenting their formidable power as he had in the past.

He wasn't sure if he could have acquired so many crucial clues if he had relayed information through Emi midway.

After all, their perspectives differed—Emi embodied the conventional thinking of the Glory People.

Lide's thinking wasn't so rigid, so what he considered valuable information might not align with Emi's observations.

Silence ensued.

They left the tavern, and the previous sensation of being watched quietly dissipated.

Emi's expression was visibly relaxed.
