Three steps ahead (part 1)

Naturally Armando was careful enough to not inform any of his subordinates about this meeting, since it regarded the safety of his daughter, so the first thing he did right now was summon all of them at once.

Surprisingly no one doubted about why Porter city was practically empty, apparently this is a normal thing when the "council" mentioned by Shirel gathers, so the members of the council thought they were the reason of why the citizens left temporarily.

While Daimon and the others looked at the arriving people from behind an illusion created by Aurora, something interesting about this council is that though they are all technically subordinated to Armando, there is a representative from Horroclaw's family.

Daimon wanted to see how much have the enemies infiltrated the Bone Sea and this was an easy way to do so, Armando has been isolated from public matters for a really long time, to the point that he didn't know about Black Wave's existence.
