I soon arrived at the meeting hall and the muscular guy and I separated. I looked around the large meeting hall and I counted a few hundred explorers including a few wearing different insignias on their armours showing their affiliation to a noble family including some of the knights from the Thorne family. I scanned the crowd for any familiar faces and I soon saw Marcus and his group including Lisa standing beside some of the knights from the Thorne noble family in a corner of the room. Everyone else seemed to stay away from that spot out of respect or fear of the Thorne family. Not wanting to walk through the thick crowd I activated [Shadow Swim] and dissolved into the shadows under the stunned gazes of the few witnesses.
"See I told you I...ahh." Chad shouted as I rised from the shadows right beside him. The knights in black unsheathed their weapons and held them to my neck making their intention clear without any words.
