Chapter 169 Keep It Under Wraps

Xavier had learned about Oliver's situation through rumors that had reached him from Zloimond. Word spread that a mountain had collapsed there, killing many people. Locals whispered that a high-ranking general from the court had been involved in the disaster. The news soon made its way to Argentum. Xavier, only half-believing the gossip, had left Argentum immediately after hearing it. If his guess was wrong, Geoffrey would certainly lose trust in him. His safest bet was to distance himself from Argentum for now, especially since he had already been paid in full.
