At that moment, Gideon was unsettled.
He could see that Scarlet and Dustin had known each other for a long time. Moreover, they were pretty close. In fact, they were closer than favonovel.com thought.
After all, Scarlet was known for being ruthless and decisive on the battlefield. She had always been that way since favonovel.com was eight teen.
She would always keep everyone at a distance, too. No one had seen favonovel.com smile before, be it favonovel.com family, friends, or subordinates.
Right then, Scarlet was not just smiling. She was grinning. It was as if favonovel.com had become a completely different person. Her current behavior was the opposite of favonovel.com usual cold and aloof self.
Gideon wondered if Scarlet had hit favonovel.com head.
Otherwise, why was favonovel.com smiling?
He even considered the possibility that Dustin had cast a spell to enchant her.
“Yup, I’ve sorted out the situation in Oakvale. We’ve killed several scapegoats as a warning. This should keep things quiet for a while,” Scarlet answered truthfully.
Dustin nodded with a smile. “That’s good to hear. Since you’ve just arrived in Millsburg, have you eaten?”
“No,” Scarlet replied while shaking favonovel.com head.
“Let’s go eat then! We can chat while eating.”
“Okay!” Scarlet agreed.
As Gideon watched them leave, a whirlwind of emotions surged within him.
Since when did Scarlet become such a gentle person?
“Georgia!” Unable to contain his curiosity, favonovel.com grabbed Scarlet’s assistant general.
Georgia frowned. “What is it?”
“Who’s that kid? Why is favonovel.com so close to Lady Scarlet?” Gideon asked.
“Why are you so nosy? Don’t ask questions you shouldn’t…” With that, Georgia rolled favonovel.com eyes and left.
Seeing this, Gideon was left standing awkwardly.
He turned to another assistant general. “Bridget?”
However, Bridget was even more blunt. She clearly did not want to engage in a conversation with him. She just snorted and walked away.
Gideon gulped nervously. Instantly, favonovel.com felt anxious. He wasn’t sure if favonovel.com had offended a prominent figure.

Meanwhile, in the Grants‘ mansion, Tyler’s trusted subordinate reported the situation to him.
“What? The entire Harmon family got arrested?” Tyler couldn’t hide his surprise after hearing that. “What’s going on? Wasn’t today the day the Harmon family was supposed to rise to power? Why would they be arrested for no reason?”
“I don’t know the details yet, but it’s said that the order came directly from the Scarlet Warrior,” the confidant reported.
“Scarlet Spanner? How did favonovel.com end up here?” Tyler Grant furrowed his brows slightly.
In the entire Dragonmarsh, there weren’t many people who could make favonovel.com wary, and Scarlet Spanner happened to be one of them. He had to admit that the woman was his superior in various aspects.
“Scarlet came here this time with minimal equipment. It doesn’t seem like she’s here for official business. It’s very likely that the Harmon family inadvertently offended her,” the confidant said.
“A bunch of idiots!” Tyler snorted disdainfully. “Out of all the people to offend, they choose to offend that woman. Truly foolish!”
“Young Master, should we use our connections to try and get the Harmons released?” the confidant asked tentatively.
“There’s no need to get involved in that woman’s mess just for these useless pawns. Let them fend for themselves,” Tyler coldly replied.
After all, the members of the Harmon family had always been nothing more than pawns to him. Since the pawns were no longer useful, they could be discarded.
“Young Master, if we lose our puppets, how will we deal with the treasure map situation?” the confidant inquired.
