Chapter 35: The Usurper
Lytheria – Kades : Sewers
The putrid stench of the sewers burned Cain’s nostrils. His body trembled, worn down by pain.
He had crawled through this maze of concrete and rust for what felt like an eternity.
Finally, he stopped in front of a plain metal door. Nothing remarkable about it.
He knocked three times. Then waited.
After a few long seconds, the door creaked open, revealing a man with a laid-back look.
— "Who the hell are you ?"
— "Cain Caledron. I’ve... got information for Eraser." He paused, his eyes hardening.
The man stared at him, a mocking smile creeping onto his face.
Cain hated that smile. He knew exactly what it meant : there was no room for weakness down here.
The man didn’t answer right away. He turned briefly, and for a split second, Cain saw a flicker of doubt in his eyes.
