Meanwhile, in the shadow expanse.
Several shadow creatures were currently seated in a villa in their obsidian humanoid forms. They were in the living room of the villa.
Seated in their middle was a feminine, fair, petite figure, munching on sandwiches with each passing second. No one dared to sit too close to her. Even the Lord had to give this mysterious lady some face. Who were they to be familiar with her?
Their eyes were glued to a screen at the moment.
They were watching a drama.
At the moment, it was at the climax. So, everyone was deeply invested in it.
However, occasional glances could be directed towards three individuals seated among the group.
These glances were very hostile.
Hound 1, Hound 2, and Hound 3 sighed.
Ever since the Lord started involving them a lot in his operations for tactical reasons—due to their ability to remain unseen by others regardless of ranks—the others felt very envious and "bitter" of them.
