Inside the council hall, Su Xiao put away D. Killing H. Condivy had only earned him 13.7% World Source, which left him puzzled.
When he had assassinated Alliance Leader Toin, he had obtained 14.59% World Source and the Box of Authority. Given the current situation, H. Condivy, as the leader of the Beastmen, should have offered a higher kill reward than Toin.

Su Xiao ordered the bodies in the council hall to be properly disposed of, then leaned back in his chair and waited for the reward settlement to finish.
The siege had started at noon and continued until now, approaching evening. The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the stained-glass windows into the council hall. In the silent hall, it seemed to wordlessly recount the fall of one dynasty and the rise of another.
