Chapter62-Madness

As the elites shared laughs, smoothing over the awkwardness, a serious exchange was happening in a corner of the crowd. 

A goateed powerhouse and a robed figure were communicating through mind power.

The goateed man spoke solemnly in his thoughts, "The time is nearly upon us. Once one of them secures the inheritance, I'll have our people act immediately. You must activate the array we prepared in advance without delay. We cannot allow Victor and his companions to enter the Bones Tower. The failure of our last sacrificial ritual dealt a significant blow to our sect; we cannot afford any mishaps this time."

The goateed figure, a deacon of the Dusk Sect known as "Black Ghost," was here to ensure the flawless execution of their plan. 

The robed figure, Owen, was a transcendent-tier senior arraymancer, tasked with aiding Deacon Black Ghost in carrying out the Dusk Sect's agenda.
