The questioned elder raised his head to glance at Buck House. Before he could respond, Friedrich, who had been silent and was introduced by August as another major shelter master, suddenly stood up and interjected, "Fool, can't you see what's going on? This banquet today is aimed at us. It's possible that all the other lords might return alive, but the two of us, they definitely won't let go!"
These words jolted Buck House, who was still clinging to illusions, awake. Yes, the two of them were indeed the most powerful lords here, and even if these people are temporarily accommodating them, they would not truly trust them.

Immediately, he placed his hand on the sword hilt at his waist and, together with Friedrich, rapidly retreated under the protection of their personal guards. However, they were still a step too late, as Left, Lin, and Bailang were already waiting on their escape route early on.
