Hill had overlooked one thing: reckless as these spoiled young men were, they had all brought attendants. Coachmen and hired muscle, in particular, could hardly follow them everywhere.
Or rather, apart from the Bo Clan's young master, the others still had no wish to offend the An Family.
Otherwise, why had he been the only one to say anything truly stupid while the rest merely chimed in? They were happy to flatter the Bo Clan's eldest son, but if they caused real trouble and the An Family went after their families, none of them believed the Bo Clan would save them.
Their little hangers-on had still picked the wrong side.
Or perhaps the Dragonborn were so hostile to outsiders that these people had no idea what an Archmage was.
So when the tortoiseshell shattered, the people Hill saw rushing toward him were not the masterminds. They were the young men's parents and several shamans summoned to save them.
After sensing the figures approaching at speed, Hill knew the people behind this would not be easy to find.
He would have to track down that Lin Yi instead. The man was impossibly well informed, and the moment Hill went out, he had drawn over the Bo Clan's young master, who harbored ill intentions toward the An Family.
Hill had only arrived in Benevolent Harmony City yesterday afternoon, and divination did not work on him.
Clearly, someone inside the An Family had leaked the information.
Hill frowned. There was no reason to hold back, then. The An Family would not dare blame him. For this to happen right after their transaction, he could simply turn on them and accuse them of trying to rob him after the deal.
No... that was not quite the right expression. He was hardly the robber here.
