Chapter 2446

After Tobias and Stephan finished their conversation, they went their separate ways.

Tobias checked into a nearby hotel, patiently waiting for good news.

Stephan, on the other hand, wasted no time. After changing into fresh clothes, he headed directly to the West Lucozia Palace to deliver his visiting card. However, upon arrival, the sight before him left him stunned.

A crowd had gathered at the palace gate, including several high-ranking officials Stephan recognized: the city guard commander, Cardinal Dragon Marshal, and the Grand Secretary of Dragon Pavilion.

These three were first-ranking officials—figures of immense power in West Lucozia. It was no exaggeration to say they wielded enough influence to shape the region’s destiny, especially Cardinal Dragon Marshal. Normally, anyone encountering them would tread carefully, striving not to leave a poor impression.

In addition to these prominent individuals, there were also numerous second- and lower-ranking officials standing in neat rows at the entrance.
