Chapter 655: Preparing an ambush
"If you are going to accuse someone of betrayal to our race, then you must have flawless evidence to back up those words."
Angar's voice was cold as he stared at Cain. Clearly, the notion that his son was put on a list full of traitors was not something he found amusing.
The Collapsing Lightning Duke and the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar shared the emotions of the Patriarch of the Aegon Family. Some of the names on the list were friends and comrades they had made in their military career, and they could not simply allow someone to tarnish them with the mark of a traitor.
The trio would not have even bothered to hear him out if it wasn't for Cain's feats and reputation.
Cain maintained calm under those cold gazes and did not blame the trio for their reaction since he would have reacted the same if someone had tarnished the name of the people he cared about with such a horrible crime.
"First of all, I did not say they are traitors. I said they are spies, and they are actually unaware of their actions, which is why they have been able to hide so well, and no one suspected anything."
The coldness and anger in the trio diminished and were replaced by confusion. How could it be possible for dozens of people to be spies and not aware of their crimes?
Cain obviously would not leave them waiting and carried on.
"All the people on the list are giving information to the Void King, but they do not know they are doing it. During a moment in the last 20 years, each was visited by the Soul King, who managed to influence their minds. It was extremely subtle to the point none of you could detect it, but the commands were present deep in their subconscious.
All the people on the list are actively communicating with the Void King. They might think they are just chatting with a friend or writing nonsense in their diaries. Yet, in reality, they share all their knowledge about the Collapsing Lightning Alliance in encrypted messages with the Dark King."
A new wave of surprise assaulted the trio, just for them to burst with killing intent. Of course, the target was not Cain but the Void King and Soul King.
The Patriarch of the Aegon Family could not help but tremble as he felt the hatred and rage in his heart exploding. Angar wanted nothing more than to fly toward the Inferno Daemon Invasion Army and butcher the man, but he did not lose focus and controlled his emotions before staring at Cain.
"Is there a way to fix it? Is my son in danger?"
