At last, little Hana Ye had been soothed.
Lin En could finally make further arrangements for what came next.
He glanced over and said:
"Salgon."
Salgon immediately dropped to one knee before him.
"Your slave is here!"
Lin En: "..."
Where had he learned the word "slave"...?
Lin En stared at him with dead-fish eyes and said:
"You've been in that Secret Cult for quite a while, haven't you? Do you know where their headquarters are?"
Salgon scratched the back of his head, lowered it, and said nervously:
"Well, I'm sorry, Master. I'm absolutely not withholding anything on purpose. It's just that the Crimson Secret Cult has an extremely tight organizational structure. Apart from a few core members, nobody has the right to find out. Even when they hold gatherings, they only tell you the exact location just before they begin."

Lin En glanced at him and said:
"I see."

"Um, Master, there's something I'd like to say, but I don't know if I should."
Still kneeling there, Salgon suddenly spoke.
Lin En glanced at him and said:
"What is it?"
Salgon hesitated
