Chapter 97: A Ruthless Strike

Exiting the treasury, the tranquil lakeside under the night sky came into view once more. A large boat was already docked beside the lakeside pavilion, waiting.

This time, Morning star Magus did not come; instead, an elderly steward wearing a black-and-red embroidered robe and a felt hat was tasked with welcoming the group.

Inside the boat's cabin, four or five robust men operated the oars. The oars extended through slots in the boat's hull, and when in motion, the group would work in unison to row.

As usual, the young officials were invited to board first. Aizen and Miles chose to avoid any conflict with them for now.

After all, Morning Star magus was also a government official. If a dispute arose, he would undoubtedly side with them. Even though this northeastern region was the stronghold of the Heavenly Demon Clan, Morning Star Magus, the nominal city lord of Treisenberg city, still wielded the ultimate authority in the city.
