Chapter 104: Director Missing
One hour passed in quiet tension before another report came.
A Limbo Tier Divine Construct appeared beside Kivas and Blanchette once again, its ethereal form flickering with glyph-light of its blessings from Yoiglah.
Its voice mirrored Samael’s cadence—precise, reserved, and authoritative in a way that was unwilling to show any kind of weakness.
"Cayame is missing."
Kivas and Blanchette turned immediately, leaning in their ears to this new and juicy information that was about to be laid on the table.
"All Chapters of Karasu Association are conducting searches," the Construct continued. "At present, Director Cayame is unaccounted for within the bastion. Her last synced resonance signature from her own member tag is null."
Blanchette raised an amused eyebrow. "Perhaps she’s been assassinated as well."
Samael’s tone broke through on the Construct’s next breath. That comment is as reckless jumping from a cliff to a pool of lava filled with volatile Voidlings waiting to lunge at any idiots who want to end their life peacefully. You know nothing about what you speak."
Blanchette maintained her smile, unfazed. "Well, Samael—what do you actually know about this very situation right now?"
Samael’s presence rippled through the Construct’s voice. "Kivas, raise a barrier. Eavesdroppers should not hear this."
Kivas inclined her head and flicked her wrist. "The barrier has been up for more than an hour already."
Samael’s voice softened, but remained clipped in its authoritative tone. "That barrier is so complete that even my Construct cannot detect."
