That the trio could potentially be in danger…?!
“You… didn’t do anything without consulting me first, right, young master…? I hope you understand that anything we do will always have loopholes, no matter how perfectly they’re done… With that in mind, it’ll be much better if no harm comes to them… However, if they do come across any mishaps, a serious investigation into the matter will surely be launched. After all, we have to remember that Young Master Zivon is still a powerful and influential figure…”
