Before Shute arrived, the most powerful person in the room was an Eighth Rank Storm Mage who was responsible for protecting the Envoy. The fact that the Mage was completely unaware of his detection indicated that his spiritual power was far weaker than his own.
As an Eighth Ranker whose Talent Magic was in the domain of Illusion Magic, Anvis easily deluded the Seventh Rank City Lord, making the City Lord believe that a young man beside him was the newly captured Anvis.
He himself was sitting in the City Lord's study, his spiritual power wide open, enveloping and observing the entire situation within the City Lord Mansion.
In fact, the moment he was brought into the City Lord Mansion by that foolish thief, Anvis's spiritual power had already scanned the entire Mansion, confirming there was no presence that could truly threaten him.
