Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 23

He lowered his eyes respectfully and replied, "Not yet, but I have instructed them, and they will act tonight."

Remembering something, he added with ill intent, "However, I gave them a subtle hint; by now, that girl is probably already in the hands of human traffickers.
