Chapter 1109: Helping the enemy

"The Drike Family is quite scheming." Chronos's expression darkened at the thought. He didn't see Karyk's hand slowly moving behind his back, getting closer.

Karyk's hand, hidden from view, held a small, shadowy dagger. The blade appeared almost invisible in the dim light filtering through the garden.

"Indeed, Young Lord," Karyk's voice was smooth, betraying none of his true intentions. "They are already in conflict with the Angels. It might be the reason for their large ambitions."

Chronos, lost in his thoughts about the implications of the Drike Family's involvement, merely nodded.

"It seems we underestimated their foolishness. To think they would collaborate with someone like him..." He trailed off, his gaze fixed on the token in his hand, tracing the intricate carvings with a fingertip.
