A slender figure emerged from the shadows.
The dwarf sensed that the female ghost had come out, and the temperature in the entire room dropped several degrees.
"Is your injury healed?"
The female spirit nodded gently.
"A month should be enough time for him to fully recover!"
"I admit I shouldn't have acted last time. I only asked you to keep an eye on them, not to actually do anything!"
The female spirit did not respond.
Have you made any discoveries these past few days?
"I heard that human named Joey has been leaving the city alone lately!"
The female spirit shook her head.
"Didn't you notice? Or were you just not keeping an eye on it?"
The female spirit continued to shake her head.
"Damn it, you bunch of dead people are giving me a real headache. Anyone who didn't know better would think my dad left me a mute!"

"you!"
City Lord Saril turned his gaze to the dwarf who was kneeling on the ground.
"Please give your orders, Lord City Lord!"
"I'm giving you three days to investigate the Carter family's smelting furnace thoroughly, or I'll throw you into the desert to feed the ants!"
"yes!"
The dwarf trembled upon hearing about feeding ants; he understood the horror of it without needing Shariel's explanation.
He hurriedly left the house and began to think of ways to get the matter done within three days.
Sometimes people need to be put under enough pressure, otherwise they won't give it their all.
Of course, sometimes even if you do your best, you can't change the predetermined outcome.
