Chapter 381 - 373. Bloodlink
The story ended with the Matriarch and Radia’s parents tilting their heads in confusion.
What power?
They looked at Zein, and then at Radia inquisitively. But the fact that Radia did not care to elaborate meant it wasn’t his secret to tell. And since Zein didn’t seem too keen on talking about it, they did not press further.
"I don’t know what’s worse," Han Shin chewed his breakfast with a frown. "I had thought they were colluding with the Deathzone to attack humans or something, but then it’s just...what? For greed? And even though he knows it affecting his mind, he still proceeds with it?"
"Perhaps the force of the Deathzone is bidding their time until Torodeo--or whoever succeeds him later--falls into mind control," Bassena shrugged. "They can attack us then. The one during the annual meeting, and the instant outbreaks before...they were probably a test."
Zein, who had been playing with three grapes on his plate, frowned slightly, before making a dry remark. "Because they sense my presence?"
He had been thinking about it, but a lot of these anomalies that had something to do with the Deathzone happened around him. The instant outbreaks, the black gate anomaly, the attack on the annual gathering...
Those were things that had never happened before, and he couldn’t help but think that it started because his identity as the vessel of Setnath was awakened in the Deathzone. He never thought of this before, but wasn’t it possible that whoever it was taking control of the Deathzone knew about the vessel of Setnath since Zein touched the core fragment?
"Doesn’t matter isn’t it?" Radia leaned back in his chair and smiled calmly. "We’re going there anyway."
"We’re going there," Bassena smirked. "You stay here, Boss."
"Such nice subordinates, I have," Radia chuckled. "Anyway, now that their connection to the Horins is cut, I don’t think they can make more moves."
