Arthur gave a small nod, his lips tightening into a grim line.

'Keep doubting me all you want, Adam,' he thought silently. 'You'll find what I let you find—and nothing more.'

Arriving at the scene of the slaughter, Arthur scanned the blood-soaked battlefield littered with monster corpses.

His brows furrowed as a thought struck him. 'Wait… I haven't received any contribution points yet. Nor have I seen a notification about the event being cleared.'
