Preparations of Expedition.

Albert was startled and flinched backward as he heard what Ethan had said. Hurriedly he spoke, "Young Master, we can send someone else. You don't have to go." 

Ethan squinted his eyes and said, "No, this must be resolved as soon as possible. I will go myself."

Instantly, Albert retorted, "It will be dangerous. There still might be enemies targeting you." 

"I have said this many times now and I do not wish to repeat it. Simply because someone wants to kill me, I cannot stop living my life. If you're that worried, then prepare for better security. Understand?" Ethan said bluntly as he then began leaving the room. 

Albert sighed and followed Ethan as he said, "As you wish. I will also join you."

Ethan suddenly stopped in his tracks and said, "You know you can't do that. You will stay here and keep watch over the city. Someone experienced needs to be here. I can handle the rest."
