Rayden stared at the Grand Elder of the Altair clan, his amber eyes now narrowing into two dangerous points of light. The air around him grew cold, and his voice came out not as a shout, but as a hiss that was far more terrifying.

"What… have you done to her?"

The question hung in the air, an absolute demand. The Elder's wrinkled face was now wet with tears he could no longer hold back. He no longer looked like a cunning ruler, but simply a broken old man, destroyed by his own regret.

"I committed an unforgivable sin," he whispered, his voice hoarse. He began to tell the final, most deeply buried part of his story.

He spoke of the day a young Kara, her eyes shining with pride, had announced that she was ready. Ready to enter closed-door meditation, to gather all her strength and break through the final shackle of the Master level into the legendary realm of a Grandmaster.

"The entire family celebrated," the Elder said, each word a torment. "We saw it as the dawn of a new era for our c

    The final sentence of Lucien Dorne's report—the unexpected eyewitness… is one of us—hung in the air like a death sentence. Rayden stared at the Grand Elder of the Altair clan, all the confusing pieces of the puzzle finally beginning to point toward a single, unthinkable name. His patience was gone."I'm not interested in the details of your failure," Rayden cut in sharply, his voice cold and leaving no room for pleasantries. "I saw a young girl behind Lucien Dorne that night. Explain Kara."At the mention of her name, the mask of composure and control that the Grand Elder of the Altair clan had worn shattered into a million pieces. His wrinkled face hardened, filled with a suffering so deep and real that Rayden's own anger instantly subsided, replaced by a suffocating sense of dread. This was the core of his regret."Kara…" the Elder whispered, his voice hoarse as if the word itself was painful to speak. He closed his eyes. "She was the brightest star our clan had ever produced. A gen

    "A major problem?" Rayden repeated, his worst fears gripping his heart. His entire body tensed. "What happened to Raelyn? What did Lucien do to her?"The Grand Elder of the Altair clan looked at Rayden, and for a moment, the steel mask on his old face cracked. In the depths of his cloudy eyes, there was a flicker of sincere sympathy, a flash of resonant pain. However, the words that came from his mouth remained cold and factual, as if he were merely reading back a report from that cursed night—a defense mechanism he had honed for ten years."Not that," the Elder answered softly. "The problem he meant was not your sister. According to Lucien's brief report, Raelyn had been 'handled'. He provided no details. His report only stated that the second target was no longer a threat to our plans."The words handled and no longer a threat were crueler to Rayden's ears than any description of torture. He understood immediately what they meant. It was the cold explanation behind his sister's whee

    A thin, bitter smile touched Rayden's lips as he heard the end of his pursuit's story. It wasn't a smile of victory, but the smile of a man recalling a strange twist of fate. He remembered Master Sena's weathered hand pulling him from the brink of death, his confusion upon waking in a village hidden from the world."Their report wasn't entirely wrong," he said, his voice calm.The Grand Elder of the Altair clan nodded, as if he had expected that answer. "At that time, we didn't know a miracle was waiting for you at the bottom of the ravine. To us in the command room, that report was a bright spot in a chaotic night. We considered you dead."He leaned back, a sigh of relief held for ten years finally escaping his lips. "One problem solved. It was a horrific relief for us. With you dealt with, all remaining resources, all the elite trackers and assassins, could now be focused on a single, final target: your twin sister."The tone of the story shifted. The hunt, which had been divided an

    "Another aura?" Rayden asked, frowning. His intuition told him that this anomaly was the key to everything, but he restrained himself from pressing further. He let the old man tell the story at his own pace. "Who was it?"The Elder shook his head, a faint look of annoyance crossing his face as he recalled the chaos of that night. "We don't know," he answered. "At that time, in the midst of the panic, we ignored the report. We assumed it was a spiritual sensor malfunction or perhaps just a high-level beast disturbed by the commotion. Our focus was entirely on the two of you, two small embers that had the potential to burn down our entire plan."He continued his narrative, his calm voice now tinged with a faint frustration. "The team assigned to pursue your sister reported steady progress. She was exhausted and terrified. Capturing her was only a matter of time. But you…"The Elder looked at Rayden. "You were a ghost. The reports from our best tracking team were filled with disbelief."

    Rayden said nothing in response to the Elder's story. He only murmured softly, more to himself, as if reliving the bitter moment he pushed his sister away and chose a different path."I told her to run."The Elder nodded, his expression grim. "And that action of yours," he admitted, "Created the greatest panic for us in the command room."He painted a picture of the scene behind the curtain that night. It wasn't a picture of cold-blooded killers in control, but of panicked planners whose perfect operation was suddenly falling apart."Lord Dragon's command was absolute—there were to be no living witnesses," the Elder continued, his voice filled with an old fear. "Two children slipping from our grasp wasn't just a problem. It was a catastrophic failure that could have resulted in the annihilation of all of us at Brahma's hand."In the midst of that panic, the Elder admitted, Lucien Dorne showed why he had been chosen to lead. While the others screamed and blamed each other, Lucien remai
