A Clandestine Battle

As the conversation continued within the bustling training grounds of the Sunfire Clan, Marco's feigned persona remained intact.

He appeared as the dutiful young master who had swiftly completed his mission to retrieve the Phoenix Clan's treasures and exact vengeance on the culprit.

However, his crimson eyes held an enigmatic glint that only the observant few could detect, hinting at a deeper mystery concealed beneath the surface.

Two figures, both adorned with fiery red hair and eyes, approached Marco. They were none other than Evan Sunfire and Livia Sunfire, the Fourth Young Master and Mistress of the clan.

Their presence signaled an imminent challenge, a test of martial prowess that had become customary within the clan's hierarchy.

Marco, who now bore the facade of a Sunfire Clan member, greeted them with a casual smile. "Evan, Livia, what a pleasant surprise. I see you're as eager as ever for a sparring match."
