412 Disturbed Sword Saint

Maplethorpe Territory, Carudi.

In the center of this wealthy city known as Iron City, there was an extravagantly luxurious estate.

The estate spread over a vast area, replete with numerous artificial hills, gardens, and even streams, resembling a miniature resort.

Located in the deepest part of this resort-like luxurious estate was a mansion only slightly smaller than a palace.

This was the Hatite family's estate and mansion, the abode of the ruler of Carudi, a small but exceedingly lavish domain.

For the people of Carudi, this was the landlord's territory, home to a great aristocratic family with deep ties to the lord of Maplethorpe, a place anyone would only dare mention in their hearts as untouchable.

Yet today, this untouchable family received devastating news.

"What did you say?"

In a vast hall of the mansion, a middle-aged man seated at the head suddenly stood up, his voice filled with disbelief.
