"Damn it, this is really hell!" Jian Wuheng muttered to himself as he walked towards Altland City, regretting the turn of events. When he arrived, all was well, but now as he left, he found himself having signed an indenture, trapped as a laborer without pay—what sort of nonsense was this?
His mission had turned into a massive embarrassment.
He felt deeply aggrieved inside. If only he had slipped away sooner, or even better, struck a decisive blow—either way, there was a slim chance of success. Now here he was, bound by contract, forced to work for free.
Of course, Jian Wuheng wasn't there to gather intelligence; Dragon Bereavement Castle wasn't a forbidden place, and Adventurers alone could have taken care of reconnaissance.
In fact, his real purpose for visiting was to uncover the secret behind Aidan's dragon transformation, and if possible, take the chance to assassinate Aidan.
