Chapter 313: Overconfidence and Oversights

River Torrent was their best shot.

Elsewhere, deep inside one of the listening posts scattered across Marka, a group assigned to monitor all communications had been scanning phone lines for anything suspicious.

Their task was to intercept conversations related to the fleeing royals, but they had picked up far more than expected.

For hours, they heard call after call, plans for thefts, smuggling, illegal deals, so many that the eavesdropping agents eventually started forwarding the criminal chatter to the local police.

Though they weren’t law enforcement themselves, they couldn’t ignore the overwhelming flow of crimes pouring in through the airwaves.

Then, just as fatigue began to weigh them down, and one of them had started nodding off, something unusual crackled through the speakers.

“Guys, are you all safe?”

The voice was quiet, hesitant, but unmistakably familiar.

“Hey, hey, wake up!” one of the men whispered sharply, nudging his half asleep companion. “That voice… doesn’t it sound like the Third Prince?”

The other sat up quickly, suddenly alert.

They turned up the volume and leaned in.
