Chapter 472 - An Opportunity
“Oh?” Hutton’s expression turned serious as he looked at Beckley more cautiously. “You’re from the Tower of Dusk?”
“Yes.”
Hutton gave Beckley a look. There indeed was the Guild of Magic’s unique crest on the black robes, and from this, it seemed that this messenger was not an impostor. Since the fact that the Malfa Family and the Tower of Dusk were allies had not been made known to the public yet, the only ones who would know this secret beside himself were the people of the Tower of Dusk.
But if President Felic sent a messenger now, could it be that there were problems on the Tower of Dusk’s side?
Hutton was secretly pondering this question, but he did not realize that the two guards had taken notice of his expression and completely misunderstood it. They thought that Hutton was getting annoyed, and that the Guild of Magic called Tower of Dusk was most probably just another force trying to get the Malfa Family’s help. Having worked in the Malfa Family for over a decade, they had seen their fair share of such situations, and already knew how to handle it without Hutton having to give orders.
“Alright, alright, whosoever you are, just leave the letter and go. Young Master Hutton will look at it some time later.”
Well, Hutton was to blame for being too deep in thought. When he realized what was going on, he was too late. The two guards had already flanked Beckley and escorted him out…
Stephen’s timely appearance had diverted the young President’s attention, and Hutton could not help but celebrate the fact. If not for Stephen’s arrival, he would most likely have been the one to meet with Stephen’s tragic fate…
Looking back at the letter, he saw that he was to send out 50 mages who were at least level-10 to help the Tower of Dusk in their quest to exterminate the Syer Bandits. It was a difficult feat for the Malfa Family indeed—50 mages of at least level-10 would make a decent troop anywhere, and it was a difficult task to send out a troop like that just because this young President gave the word. What if the Dark Blade suddenly struck? The Malfa Family would be in huge trouble…
But still, this was a rare opportunity for the Malfa Family to be tied closely to the Tower of Dusk—an opportunity for the Malfa Family to be set free of the Dark Blade!
