"According to your report, you concealed yourself using an ability, whatever it was, when you replaced yourself with that clone, correct?"
The Grand Marshal Titan's voice was calm but edged with suspicion.
"That is correct, sir"
Anthony replied, his tone unshaken and casual.
"Then doesn't that also mean"
The Grand Marshal Titan's gaze bore into Anthony's very soul.
"That while you were with your team, replenishing your mana, your clone could have used the exact same ability to remain hidden, and taken the corpse unnoticed?"
His eyes seemed to pierce through Anthony's mind, searching for any flicker of hesitation.
"Due to the uniqueness of my clone, I can only deploy it once a month"
Anthony said smoothly, the lie slipping effortlessly from his lips.
But it mattered not, neither the Grand Marshals nor the arcane runes embedded in the chair and table could detect his lies.
He remained utterly composed, his expression flat, his demeanor unflinching.
