Fane's explanation, however, did not wholly satisfy the vice-treasurer. After all, Fane's response had not been what the vice-treasurer wanted to know. The vice -treasurer frowned and opened his mouth, wanting to question Fane even further.
Fane gave him no such opportunity and, instead, answered the most pressing questions.
"I learned the Way of the Pill from my master. Everything I know was passed to me by my master.
"As for why I came here despite having a master, well, it's very simple. My master garnered jealousy wherever he went because he knew the Way of the Pill. He was killed a few months ago. I came here to look for the person and seek revenge for my master."
Fane's eyes darkened with pain and hatred as he spoke. It was as if someone truly had killed his whole family.
Fane had met various kinds of people in recent times. He was actually incredibly impressed with those who were incredibly good at acting. Ever since he had been sent to Middle Province, Fane had been working hard on his acting skills.
After all, he felt like he would need it eventually.
After all, there were many hidden talents in Middle Province, and he could not casually reveal his true
identity to everyone, either. Only great acting skills would help him hide his status.
The vice-treasurer did not answer immediately after those words. Instead, he looked at Fane with a searching look in his eyes. Fane did not meet the vicetreasurer's gaze and instead lowered his head, simmering in his anger.
