Chapter 1338: Four
The man’s eyes sharpened once again.
He had felt that there was something wrong with this Sylas the moment he so boldly and easily proclaimed the death of the Leava Clan member.
However, he still wasn’t 100% certain. It was possible that Sylas was just a hothead. So, in order to test this, he ignored Sylas on purpose and spoke to Brama alone, provoking them.
In his opinion, if Brama was following Sylas so easily, then Sylas should be a core part of the Golden Grove as well. They had done their research before coming, but they hadn’t exactly known every little detail of everything.
Or at the very least, they didn’t have attention to detail that was anywhere near as good as Sylas’ own.
If they had, they would know that the fact Sylas wasn’t a member of the Golden Lineage would make that deduction very unlikely.
Even so, the man hadn’t reacted in time to this truth and had thought that the combination of ignoring Sylas and threatening the Golden Grove would be enough to get Sylas to show his true colors. But in reality, that only gave Sylas more information to work on.
The man had clearly come here to play games.
First, he sent the Leava Clan forward. Then, he appeared with a set of folded wings that clearly made him look like a far more powerful version of his Race than he actually was.
All of this was a game of smoke and mirrors. And why?
Well, the answer was obvious to Sylas, at least.
The Mortal Clans of the Thryskai had a presence in this Sector, especially the Kaelthar. However, they were spread out—and spread quite thin at that as well. If they wanted to exert their greatest strength, they needed to bring power they stored outside of the Sector in. But that left a huge problem.
