Chapter 106: Xavier's Confession

Maya leaned in closer, her voice a mere breath. "We find out who's been sowing the seeds of discord. We can't let this divide us when we have a common enemy to face."

Tavian's expression hardened with resolve. "I'll help you, Maya. We'll get to the bottom of this."

Meanwhile, Victor Rookwood approached Gabriel, who had been distant and brooding ever since the encounter with Xavier's past. "Gabriel, we need to talk," Victor said in a low voice.

Gabriel's eyes met Victor's, and the intensity in his gaze was palpable. "I've been thinking the same thing, Victor. This rift in our group—it's not natural. We need to find out who's behind it."

Victor nodded, impressed by Gabriel's perceptiveness. "Maya and Tavian are on the same page. We'll work together to uncover the truth."
