Chapter 649 Rubes

• Konrad's departure finally marked the success of this ambush.
• With that in mind, Ruban thought, "By taking matters into my own hands and stopping Konrad, once Allan hears about it, he will be able to assess the situation for himself. At least for now, there won't be any major trouble. However, if the Gray family privately seeks out Lucian, there's nothing I can do. After all, I'm not a god."
• The rain continued to fall after Konrad left. Ruban approached Brian and said, "Brian, you should take the Imperial Guards back to the Imperial City. I'll go meet Lucian, catch up with him, and give him some instructions."
