Chapter 362
Five steps away from Crang, a whip-wielding bodyguard stood on high alert, scanning the surroundings.
Besides him, another warrior—a bald, imposing figure—stood like a statue behind Crang, his back turned toward them.
It was a well-trained body.
Enkrid could tell at a glance.
This wasn’t some half-baked fighter.

Right now, Andrew was probably scowling inside the ballroom.
