Chapter 1341

Still, hardship was inevitable.

Travis broke Miles' leg, then secretly sent him to Arcane Sanctum. The story he was to tell the outside world was that he had drunkenly fallen and fractured his leg. This would allow him to rest at home without drawing any attention.

Once the matter was settled, Travis returned to ask Carissa, "Why don't we send him back to gather intelligence for us? We could intimidate him and tell him the king has ordered him to spy. He wouldn't dare disobey."

Carissa shook her head. "He won't be able to uncover anything and will be more likely to slip up."

Having worked for many years in the Ministry of Infrastructure, Miles had never found a true friend.
