Chapter 186 The Masked Man

In a certain cave in a certain country on a certain continent.Several braziers burned in this cavern, large enough to accommodate a hundred people. Though not as bright as daylight, the flames provided clear illumination. Twenty-three people stood quietly beneath a platform just over a meter high, making no sound.

At that moment, a person wearing a bronze mask emerged slowly from a small cave. Though this person came out silently, the twenty-three individuals seemed to sense it simultaneously, all rising to bow and saying in unison, "We pay our respects to the Sovereign!"

With the sound of the salute, the masked figure was exposed to the light of the flames. Strangely, he cast no shadow! However, the others seemed unperturbed by this peculiarity, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

Ascending the platform and taking a seat on the only stone chair, the masked figure raised a hand and said, "Dispense with the formalities and be seated!" Though wearing a mask, his voice did not sound muffled.

Once everyone had taken their seats on the stone benches flanking the platform, the masked figure spoke again in a clear and melodious baritone, "During my three months in seclusion, has anything unusual occurred?"

"Hahaha... It's great that the Holy Maiden is safe!" The masked figure laughed heartily, as he saw the little girl holding the leg of the "Most Handsome Chairman of the Board in Chinese History," who was crucial to his grand plan,!

After carefully reading the news content, the masked figure became even more pleased. "So it's a local group from Shanghai, China! Hehe, good... Luo Shu, since the Holy Maiden is in Shanghai, which is your territory, I will leave the task of bringing her back to you! I hope you can redeem yourself with success and not disappoint me again..."

Touched, Luo Shu said with overwhelming gratitude, "Thank you, Sovereign, I will definitely redeem myself with success and live up to your expectations!"
