Riley Atwood glanced around furtively before whispering, "Commander, what do we do now...?"
He wanted to ask if Aiden Atwood still had any ambitions to rise again, but from the sound of his tone, it seemed he had already given up.
Sure enough, before he could finish, Aiden Atwood frowned and glared at him. "Watch your mouth from now on. I'm not a Commander anymore. If you stir up trouble and cause a misunderstanding with the Druid, we'll both end up dead! Understand?"
Riley Atwood's heart sank. He quickly nodded. "I understand, I understand!"
Aiden Atwood shook his head and started walking toward the fortress, lowering his voice as he went. "Don't ever say that again. If we just live quietly in the City-State of the Paragon Troupe, the Druid won't treat us poorly! Don't forget, even the Lion-Salt City-state is being absorbed. We might become citizens of a large city-state in the future! We might even get a chance to see the Dragon God, you know?"
