Chapter 10: The Supreme Leader’s Intervention
[The Hall of Leadership]
The Supreme Leader sat silently on his throne, his eyes closed and his expression calm and serene, though his brows were furrowed in a mysterious manner. His mind was working rapidly, analyzing the dilemma they faced. He reviewed every possible scenario, but his frown did not ease.
Although the knowledge of Sollivan’s true nature had brought him some relief, he was not foolish enough to let his guard down completely because of it.
After a short while, he finally opened his eyes and looked at the young noble standing respectfully before him.
"Blear, are you sure of what you said? Are you confident that your followers didn’t overlook anything?"
Blear raised his head and looked into his father’s eyes with confidence, then replied politely, "I’m certain, Father. We searched the area multiple times, and the result was the same each time.
There were no traces other than those of the hybrid boy. Even after tracking them, we lost his trail near a plain ruled by a powerful beast."
Blear’s brows furrowed, and he paused for a moment before adding in a doubtful tone, "Your concerns are valid, Father. Upon reconsidering, the traces left by the hybrid were strange and fragmented, as if he had suddenly appeared in that location."
The warriors’ ability to track traces was the second thing they prided themselves on, after their strength. But the traces left by Sollivan had left them deeply puzzled. They had been unable to follow them once they disappeared near the plain of the powerful beast.
Even after hours of searching, they had found nothing despite combing the entire area. Concealing one’s traces wasn’t impossible, but Sollivan was weak and helpless, making it impossible for him to possess such an ability.
Even the possibility of a powerful individual aiding him seemed unlikely, especially given the circumstances in which they had found him.
Blear’s frown deepened, and at the same time, a strong curiosity arose within him, making him eager to uncover the truth about the hybrid he had brought back. To him, as much as Sollivan posed a potential threat, he was also an opportunity to understand the truth about primal blood and the powerful clans beyond the vast plains.
