Halwind dared not hesitate and immediately relayed everything that had happened to Brade Morningsong.
Of course, he embellished and modified the story.
For instance, he described how Luca and the others had disregarded their attempts to stop them and forcefully tried to enter the node. They had put up a fierce resistance, but were ultimately all severely injured, and so on. In the end, Halwind went as far as to paint Luca and his group as a bunch of unruly, arrogant young nobles, relying on their connection with Drumph to act like bullies.
After hearing the report, Brade Morningsong didn't say much and simply replied, "I understand. You all stay there and keep guard. I'll head over right away."
He then hung up the phone.
Meanwhile, in the Eastern Territory, in Deer City.
"Luca?" Brade Morningsong muttered the name, furrowing his brow. It seemed familiar, but he couldn't quite place where he had heard it from.
