Lord Kenny nodded and said nothing else as he slowly stood up. “Let’s call it a day.” He then slowly walked out of the main hall.
“Yes, Your Majesty.” The officials knelt to send him off.
The officials stood up and left as well after Lord Kenny’s departure.
However, Sloan was not anxious to leave as she stood there worriedly.
She could not let that happen. She had to save Darryl’s friends and family!
Sloan suddenly had an idea upon seeing Florian leaving.
Late night in a large mansion at the prosperous part of the New World Royal City.
A feast was going on in the backyard with Florian sitting on the main seat and a seductive lady in his arms. Both of them were fooling around and teasing each other.
A few singing courtesans were dancing to lighten the mood at the space in front of them.
If one did not know better, they might think that place was a brothel.
Florian was famous for being afraid of his wife. He initially did not dare to be so wild and carefree. However, Lord Kenny commanded him to oversee that day’s preparation for the next day’s beheading, so Florian had given Yumi an excuse saying he would be busy securing and guarding the prison.
In truth, Florian came to find pleasure.
“Master.”
A guard quickly walked over right at that moment and loudly said, “You have someone asking to see you.”
Florian was furious at being interrupted as he glared and chided, “F*ck you, can’t you see I’m busy? I’m not seeing any guests today. Get out.”
The guard shuddered and was sweating profusely.
“Hehe.”
Right at that moment, a light chuckle came from outside before an attractive woman slowly entered. Her gorgeous face held hints of mockery as she looked at Florian. “Master Darby, how authoritative of you.”
It was Sloan.
Although Sloan was in black casual wear at that moment, it could not hide her perfect figure. Any man who saw her would fall for her especially powerful aura.
Florian was famous for being lustful and was naturally the same as well.
Sloan’s expressions were indifferent with no whatsoever reaction as she flatly said, “Master Florian, you’ll be in charge of executing important criminals tomorrow. You have a huge responsibility, yet you’re here having fun instead of being at the prison to prevent anyone from breaking in. Aren’t you afraid His Majesty will hear about this and punish you for your crimes?”
“Haha…”
Florian was stunned at first upon hearing this before he immediately could not help but laugh. “Commander-in-chief Sloan, we are all smart people. You don’t have to use this to intimidate me.”
Florian then squinted his eyes and smiled as he looked at Sloan. “If my guess is right, you’re here tonight because of Darryl’s accomplices, right? In addition, today at the palace was just your temporary plan to deal with him as you don’t really want to work for His Majesty, right?”
Florian’s eyes were filled with slyness when he said the last sentence.
Florian was cunning and malicious on top of being good at reading body language. All these years being an official had made him proficient at it. In the palace during the day, Florian immediately knew that Sloan being loyal to Lord Kenny was a sham.
It was Sloan who previously brought him to the New World, hence Florian was extremely clear of Sloan’s great loyalty to the New World Emperor. How could she defy her principles to work for Lord Kenny?
