The tavern had become the center of all the local power. The Town Lord rushed over as word had spread like wildfire.
The dead man had already been stripped of all his valuables but not by Lind and his companions.
They sat quietly as chaos was raging around them until the rotund Town Lord finally made his way to them nervously.
The balding man rubbed his hands quickly as he bowed respectfully as he was only a Shard Tier.
He was clearly not going to advance but his emblem marked him as an official. He was likely a family member of some prestigious family.
"My dear visitors, I am so glad you revealed this vile snake in our midst. We are ever so grateful." Lind refrained from glaring at the man. There was no way he had not known about the scam. The medallion had not been active and even a Shard Tier could easily tell that.
Bribes clearly had changed hands!
