Harrison was not an ordinary man.
He was the same greedy merchant who once tried to negotiate a bulk trade deal with Kiara.
Back then, he had dreamed of earning a fortune.
Instead, he had been captured.
Later, he became an unwilling firearms instructor for the bandits.
Eventually, Icarus Veyne forced him to consume a forbidden potion that altered his body and awakened spirit energy within him.
Against all odds, he survived.
His fate changed completely.
After surviving the transformation, Harrison trained alongside the stronger bandits.
Within a surprisingly short time, he had reached the third star rank.
His status also rose within the bandits.
He was now considered an elite messenger.
Yet Icarus had predicted what House Drake would do.
The Noble House would capture any envoy and torture him to find the bandits' hideout.
That was why Harrison had been ordered to introduce himself clearly from the start.
That was step one.
Step two was collecting the ransom.
