“Thank you, Mr. Chance! Thank you!” Lorcan exclaimed, quickly bowing deeply to Jared.
Nestor also released his grip. He didn't want to harm Lorcan. The latter had been a loyal ally for many years, after all.
“Mr. Chance, we've successfully reclaimed the city, and the Foster family has been defeated. There haven't been any suspicious individuals around these past few days, so it should be safe now!” said Nestor.
“General Quivey, I appreciate your efforts,” Jared said calmly.
Nestor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, responding, “It's an honor to work for you.”
“What about my subordinates in Imperial Fox City? Why is it that I only see your soldiers?” Catina inquired, her concern evident.
“Oh, during the takeover, there weren't many beast race members left in the city. Most were from the Foster family, and a portion were associated with the Demon Seal Alliance. It's likely that, with the city's fall, many fled or were killed by the Foster family,” Nestor explained.
Catina's heart immediately sank. As a queen, she had fled, leaving behind a city filled with her subordinates and people. She had no idea how they were faring now.
It was one thing if they had simply run away, but if they had been killed, Catina feared she would never be able to forgive herself.
“Don't be sad. Take your time and start over,” Jared said softly, wrapping his arms around her shoulders. “I believe Imperial Fox City will rise again.”
Nestor, standing to the side, observed the interaction between Jared and Catina and quickly grasped the nature of their relationship. He eagerly chimed in, “Fox Queen, we can always attract new citizens. I believe there are many beast clans out there seeking refuge. While the city is being reestablished, I can arrange for my men to stay on as guards to ensure its safety.”
Nestor was keenly aware that earning Jared's favor was paramount. No matter how significant his military accomplishments, it was far more important to appease Jared. A single word from Jared to Bernard could change everything.
