Hearing Harvis's words, Shane not only didn't feel relieved but instead furrowed his brows even tighter.
"Because they're wary of me, they gave up on their action?"
Perhaps, on the surface, this was the most likely thing to happen.
There was no helping it; the power and energy Shane displayed this time were far beyond anyone's imagination. It would be natural for the Empire not to want to offend Shane, and they'd hardly believe they could capture anyone from Shane's hands.
Some might think that open attacks are easy to avoid, but hidden threats are hard to guard against. Even if Shane was very powerful, as long as they could abduct Tielle without Shane or the gods noticing, wouldn't that be enough?
Tielle was just Tielle after all. She couldn't always stay with Shane, and once they were apart, there would still be a great opportunity.
But don't forget, Merica had also been separated from Shane before, and in the end, Shane arrived just in time when Merica was in danger.
