"WHAT?" The middle-aged woman couldn't help but exclaim in surprise as she looked at the person beside her, who just brought her the news, in disbelief.
"Is it true?" She asked once again, just to make sure she wasn't hearing things.
The woman beside her just nodded in response, letting the middle-aged woman digest everything that she had just told her.
"Go and secure the place. Make sure no one enters there." The middle-aged woman spoke in a hoarse tone and, after thinking for a moment, added further.
"I will finish the inspection here first."
The moment she finished speaking, two more women from the group retreated and headed out with the person who just brought the news.
"..." The middle-aged woman just stood in silence there for a while, with her eyes occasionally flashing. For a moment, she couldn't believe her ears. Someone sneaked into the Imperial City… especially the Inner City, and killed a member of the Harvest Hall.
