In his office, Varen was reading the reply that was posted by Lord L.
The words played over and over in his mind:
"Try not to disappear from the industry."
His hands shook with rage.
"DAMN YOU, LORD L!"
He slammed his fist onto his table, shattering the corner.
One of the nearby guards flinched, hesitating before stepping back.
"VALLOS!"
Within seconds, Vallos appeared with a grim expression.
"Yes, Director."
Varen pointed a shaking finger toward him.
"Go. Contact the strongest beast tamer you can find—anyone!"
"I don't care what it costs. I want the best. I want a beast that will wipe Luxoria Castle off the map."
Vallos bowed his head slightly.
"Understood, sir. I'll begin the search immediately."
Varen's voice was sharp and venomous.
"Luxoria… you dared to humiliate me in my own house."
He stared into the distance.
"You will pay for crossing me. I swear it."
Vallos turned, clenching his own fist as he walked away.
