"So that's how it is." Ethan nodded, his eyes lighting up. "Actually, that's good news for us. If the Fortress faction can keep those high-ranking Tidesworn elites busy… they'll probably be too distracted to bother with us."
"Master, you said Maelthorak wants to come after me… is that true?!" Kyros suddenly cut in, his voice tight with disbelief.
Ethan paused for a moment, then nodded. "That's what the Jewel King Astharel reported… and from the looks of it, it's pretty much confirmed."
"We're both Kirin heroes, and he still wants to take me out? That's insane! He's completely lost it. Someone that cruel deserves to be judged." A cold gleam flashed in Kyros's eyes as he spoke, his voice low and sharp.
"Don't worry. He will be," Ethan said with a nod. "It won't be long now."
"Master, what's our next move? Should we just storm in and take him out?" Seraphina asked, clearly itching for action.
