Albert was shocked: "Has the Red Chancellor finally rebelled?"
Strangely, he wasn't surprised by this...
Instead, he felt a sense of "As expected" and "He finally did it."
After all, Albert's patron was Count Leipzig, and he had indirectly had dealings with the Red Chancellor—of course, he did not dare to meet him directly.
He was not good at speaking, and the Red Chancellor was notoriously irritable, eccentric, and capricious. If he accidentally offended the Red Chancellor, he might become a Blood Slave in the Red Fortress.
Others would care about his talents—after all, Albert was not only the second youngest Fourth Level Transcendent from Star Antimony, but also a talented inventor, an excellent Calamity Stitcher. He was very likely to become the vice-chancellor of the Spirit Summoning Tower, succeeding the next Black Chancellor.
...But the Red Chancellor would not fear him.
Albert even heard that a member of the Royal Family had once angered him and was drained on the spot.
