Chapter 963

Rafael shot a glance at Kyle before striding in.

“Sage Everett, why are you making Kyle hold a pot over his head again? With so much going on, I was hoping he could help me out more. If he’s always busy being punished, he won’t be able to.”

After hearing that, Everett said, “Then, he’s excused from punishment.”

Outside, Kyle and Winona realized they had found their support.

Winona stepped in to report, “Sage Everett, we’ve swapped out all of Harvey’s gold and silver for fakes. Now, all the chests are filled with stones.”

“I see. Have they discovered it?”

“When they stopped to rest in a small grove, we knocked them out. When they wake up, they might inspect the chests and will likely figure it out,” she answered.

“Did you send anyone to keep following them?

Winona wanted to roll her eyes. Was that really a question? Of course she had sent someone. She wasn’t a rookie. After all, she was the one who founded Skywing Spire!

But since Kyle was still out there holding a pot over his head, she didn’t dare be too bold. She replied respectfully, “Rest assured, sir, I’ve already sent someone.”

Carissa and Violet heard that Rafael had returned, and hurried over to ask about the negotiations.

Everett’s face darkened. “He’s been so busy, he probably hasn’t had a bite to eat. Isn’t there hot food in the kitchen? Have it brought out.”

Seeing Everett’s stern face, Carissa immediately turned and left.

Everett turned to Rafael. “You treat her like she’s the world to you, but how does she treat you? She doesn’t even care about your food or drink.”

Rafael chuckled. “I ate at the Diplomatic Affairs Department earlier. Carissa’s just focused on the negotiations. Please stop getting upset with them.”

Kyle and Winona mentally applauded.

Seeing his apprentice acting so indulgent, Everett sighed softly. How could Rafael plead for mercy if he didn’t punish them? And if Rafael didn’t plead for them, how would they realize how important his apprentice was?

Though they were all apprentices of the Pathreplaceers Guild, the others had the advantage of numbers, while Rafael was alone. If any issues arose between Rafael and Carissa, the guild

members would surely side with Carissa.

Wouldn’t that put Rafael at a disadvantage?

Unaware that his mentor had already been worrying this much, Rafael removed his cloak and sat down. He listened intently as they explained the investigation Zoey had helped

with.

After a moment of silence, Rafael said, “Once Grandfather replaces out, it’ll probably ease his mind a bit. At least his genuine efforts won’t have gone to waste.

What they feared most was getting betrayed by a treacherous one of their own. Barrett’s past actions had already hurt them deeply. What was done couldn’t be undone, but this would at least make them feel a little better.

“That’s all secondary,” Everett said. “Pay close attention to tomorrow’s negotiations. Figure out who’s colluding with Yuvan. We don’t know his plan, so we can’t develop a counter strategy. For now, we’ll have to rely on some underhanded tactics. Winona will handle those. She’s good at that.”

Winona glanced at Rafael and said, “Do you think it’s appropriate to use such tricks from the martial arts world for such important state affairs? I doubt my guild junior will agree.”

Before Rafael could respond, Everett cut in, “What’s the problem with that? If they play dirty and we always try to be honorable, we’d be at a huge disadvantage.”

He scoffed, then continued, “We know exactly what they’re up to behind closed doors. Going forward, we’ll use that knowledge to guide our actions. For anyone like that- sneaky and impossible to pin down–we’ll use whatever methods are necessary.”

Rafael agreed. There were things that, even when known, were hard to prove. And even if proof was found, no one would have the authority to act on it. Besides, this wasn’t about who had the power to decide. Anything that disrupted the normal flow of negotiations would be removed.
