With the impressive effectiveness of the Stellar Stealth skill, Howard and Aurelia effortlessly entered the house.
Once inside, they immediately sensed something was amiss.
There were no servants around, and the people they did encounter were either hurrying with a sense of urgency or had grave expressions on their faces.
Exchanging a glance, Howard and Aurelia decided to wait on the first floor, anticipating the return of the blue-robed man they had seen earlier.
Given the strength he had displayed and the tone he used when reprimanding others, he was undoubtedly a high-ranking member of the powers behind the scene.
Following him seemed their best chance at survival.
Howard was skeptical that these people, in their own stronghold, would be cautious enough to detect two individuals in an invisibility state.
Before long, footsteps approached, and as expected, the blue-robed man entered from the outside.
