Chapter 213: Rinella’s Destiny is Her Own (6)

“I am now in charge of the Imperial Intelligence Agency Academy branch.”

Those were the first words the man uttered.

His voice was unwavering.

The few casually spoken words seemed more like a declaration. The phrasing lacked everything—emotion, highs and lows, and even context or reason—but conveyed the intended message.

That man had the qualifications for such an attitude.

He bore the Dragonblood Script and, as the representative of the Emperor, carried the seal of the Imperial Family. His words held the authority of the Imperial Family.

Explaining reasons in detail was something done by the weak.

For a true, strong individual, it didn’t matter if he only delivered conclusions.

After all, convincing the other party was not needed.

The convincing part had to be done by the one receiving the information. As if demonstrating that truth, the prospective agents in the academy branch immediately bowed their heads.

“We look forward to working with you!”

Even to this fresh greeting, Ian only responded with indifferent eyes.

His eyes looked extremely tired.

If anyone were to meet those golden eyes, they would feel the man’s profound fatigue. They were like an impenetrable swamp with an unknown depth.

Neris was particularly afraid of meeting those eyes.

Ian had always been a formidable opponent, but today, he seemed even more so.Her instincts were on high alert.

Do not talk back to this guy.

Not now, at least. Neris realized that it was crucial not to disturb Ian’s mood even a little, and she promptly adjusted her behavior accordingly.

Neris knelt respectfully while internally cursing at the man.
