�They are rats in jars this time.�

The White Star had a satisfied smile on his face as things were going as he wished for the first time in a long while.

***

Cale was silently smiling at that same moment.

The crow observed the fainted rat in Choi Han�s hand. The crow on Cale�s shoulder approached the rat and thoroughly observed it.

�The Illusionist seems to control rats.�

Choi Han put the fainted rat down and picked his sword up again after hearing the certainty in Gashan�s voice.

Slaaaaash, slash!

The ground underneath the entire alley was flipped over. Choi Han frowned every time he stabbed his sword into the ground. Once the sword stabbed a certain length into the ground�

��There�s a path!�

He felt a small underground path that small animals such as rats would be able to cross. Choi Han quickly flipped the ground over. He then raised his senses to become as sensitive as possible.

Squeeak, squeak-

He then heard a quiet noise. Choi Han turned his head. Somewhere in the dark alley� A shaded spot in the corner of the wall that even Choi Han who was hiding there had ignored�

Squeeak, squeak, squeak!

Choi Han made eye contact with a rat that started to run away. He looked around at the ground, the alley, on top of the wall, and then across the Dubori territory.

��We�re on top of the White Star�s palm!�

He had no idea where else those small rats might be hiding. He had no way of knowing where they might be hiding and observing them.

�Since when�since when were we being observed?�

Choi Han got goosebumps on his back.

Had they been observed by those rats as soon as they entered the Dubori territory? Or were they being observed long before they even arrived at the territory?

�The rumbling we felt in Young-en when we were meeting with crown prince Valentino. Was that rumbling from the West we felt the Illusionist�s doing as well?�

Choi Han had known the White Star was strong this whole time, but for some odd reason, he had not been afraid of the White Star. He felt as if the White Star was an enemy they could defeat at any moment.

�Why did I have such thoughts?�

The White Star and his subordinates were not people they could look down upon. JrNovels.com
