"Lord Felix!"

A catkin shouted as he walked into the room with a panicked look on his face. Inside the lavish room sat a white-haired man with white catlike ears, green eyes, and strong facial features. He was Felix Feline, Rune's brother and another contender for the successor's position.

"Leo, why are you panicking like that? This is very unlike you."

Felix commented with a calm look on his face.

On this matter, he resembled Rune a lot.

"It is the Assassin Group we hired! T-They say that they have already captured Lady Rune!" Leo, Felix's most loyal servant and a peak Saint Stage Cultivator reported with an urgent look on his face.

"WHAT!?"

Felix's shouted in shock.

"How is that possible!? They shouldn't be that capable!"

"I do not know how they did it, but…"

Leo extended his hand toward Felix.

Felix's eyes fell on the finger in Leo's hand, he picked it up and smelled it.

"It is Rune's…"

There was no doubt about it.

He didn't even have to check the content of the storage ring, that finger belonged to Rune.

"They sent this finger as a proof. They are asking for an 11-Star Artifact otherwise, they are going to release her." Leo reported.

"Were they hiding their strength…?" Felix questioned with an annoyed look on his face. He didn't like how things went awry from the start.

"That is most likely the case."

"We have no choice, I need to contact Aragorn," Felix spoke.
