The Shadow Group not only gathered intelligence from outside but also kept tabs on the internal affairs of the Reyne family. After all, only by eliminating threats both inside and outside could the Reyne family become more stable.
As the head of the Shadow Group, Divan had no secrets in front of Jesse. Jesse knew that Divan was a cultivator without real power, one who appeared strong on the outside but was weak and desperate for status and respect on the inside.
When Jesse exposed him, Divan felt his face burning with embarrassment. Bowing his head, he said, "Mister Jesse, you're joking with me again, but this joke isn't funny at all."
While speaking, Divan looked up at Jesse and continued, "I have great respect for you, sir, but I truly do not wish to join the Shadow Group. This time, I came to deliver a message from Lord Babbit."
"A message? So, there's a new task?"
"Exactly. Wilbur's old friend, Augheimer, has somehow learned a technique that allows him to absorb the energy of other cultivators. In just ten days, he has killed five thousand cultivators outside the city. The family head believes that if this person isn't dealt with, he will become a great enemy of the Reyne family in the future. Therefore, he hopes you will personally take care of this matter, Lord Jesse."
"I see. Get out of here."
"Yes, sir."
Although Divan felt unwilling, he still rose, took a few steps back, and then turned to leave the great hall.
