Chapter 216- Trip to the East 35

There was a pin-drop silence that suffused the air after Raph's statement. 

The Red Peacemakers were quite notorious after all. Their name was very popular amongst the commoners, mercenaries, and mostly all system users compared to the Nobles, who weren't even aware of them until their propaganda became a threat to them. 

"The Red Peacemakers?" Cruz repeated, his gaze just as dismayed as Neuj and Rafi. 

Raph had focused his gaze on Neuj to find out whether or not the man knew about the real identity of Merchant Malen, but after witnessing his surprised expression, he could tell that he didn't. It was impossible to take an expression without him noticing it, so he could tell that Neuj sincerely had no clue. 

"It all makes sense now," Neuj muttered under his breath as he bit his lips hard while a frown crossed his face.
