Xonnomor revealed a surprised expression after hearing Saehtyn's chuckle. After all, he wasn't expecting him to be so agreeable because most individuals of Saehtyn's level were challenging to deal with, and their demands for compliance were exorbitant.
Fortunately, Saehtyn's worries were limited to deepening his strength and uncovering the culprit behind his diminishing authority. So, he ignored most matters that weren't relevant to increasing his power. And, it just so happened Xonnomor's actions existed outside his interests.
Therefore, Xonnomor stashed the newly created weapon before going on another break.
Right after he stowed the item, his father appeared within the forge doors. At first, he gave Xonnomor a peculiar look but then looked elsewhere. The odd expression wasn't towards the item Xonnomor created; his earlier revelation still loomed over his father's head.
