Prince Jin's eyes flashed with a hint of darkness.
His attendant returned from General Hu's quarters and reported in a low voice, "The witness has disappeared."
Prince Rui, King Qi, and Lu Qi also heard the attendant's report.
Lu Qi's expression remained unchanged.
Prince Rui and King Qi's faces turned noticeable grim.
King Qi gritted his teeth and said, "How could they vanish so suddenly? How did Hu Lie manage this mess?"
Prince Rui also seemed puzzled, "General Hu has always been reliable in his duties. Why would something like this happen?"
The attendant replied, "I don't know either."
Prince Rui's gaze fell on Lu Yuan, who was awaiting his conferment. "That boy truly has some uncanny luck. We laid out an impenetrable trap, thinking he wouldn't survive without paying a heavy price, yet he managed to arrive at the ceremony unscathed."
King Qi scoffed, "It's just luck, nothing more."
