Adam didn't know that Hygon was watching them. Risha might have had similar ideas, but she didn't dwell on it too much. She didn't want her brother to always protect her, but there was nothing she could do about his desire.
But... neither Adam and Risha nor Hygon knew for sure that someone else had been watching them all this time.
It was a watcher beyond Hygon's level since Hygon couldn't sense it. Apparently, none of the serpents or Adam could detect the presence of someone else, even Arnoth remained in ignorance.
"You know, that wasn't a bad fight."
Gladius smirked, watching the video sent on the laptop, not of the lurking watcher but of Adam and Risha's NEPs breaking in.
After a few moments, Aiden nodded deeply, his eyes growing thoughtful.
"You're right, his strength, his new ability, and his unwavering will to fight... It's what we need, but it's too early to make a decision yet."
