Colin nodded calmly, his expression unchanged.
De Wildt looked at Colin with his murky eyes, trying to find any trace of greed or smug satisfaction on his face.
"It's a gamble…" De Wildt muttered to himself.
No one knew whether Colin would kill them all after opening the secret chamber and then claim all its contents for himself.
As a First Rank Wizard, Colin had the strength to do so.
But De Wildt had no choice, and neither did the Roon Family.
Even without seeking any Wizards, as time passed, they would not be able to keep the secret chamber hidden.
Even Jennifer, whose strength was closest to that of an Official Wizard, would need years to successfully advance to First Rank.
The Roon Family did not have the time to wait any longer.
Moreover, they still harbored a sliver of hope that Erwin might still be alive.
If they could open this "Second White Tower," they might find clues about the Wizard Erwin's disappearance.
