Chapter 174: You Dare to Insult?

Rumours had been spreading like wildfire through the noble families of the city.

Whispers of a charismatic woman named Makina who claimed to be the disciple of a mysterious master had reached the ears of the elite.

The news had unsettled the noble families, for they held power and influence that they were not willing to share.

Within their opulent estates, the nobles held a secret council, convened by Lord Cedric, the most influential among them.

His face was etched with a deep frown as he addressed the gathered nobles.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I trust you have all heard the unsettling news about this Makina and her sect"

Lord Cedric began, his voice dripping with disdain.

"She has been recruiting women from our city, promising them salvation and untold power. This cannot be allowed to continue."

The nobles in the room nodded in agreement, their expressions ranging from anger to fear.
