Ethan checked the time. It was nearly six in the morning. Ethereal would shut down in two hours.
He opened his private chat, clicked on Skyblade's avatar, and sent a message:
"Leo, you seemed like you were holding something back earlier. What really happened?"
Far away in the Survivor Faction's Harmony City, inside Renegade Alliance stronghold, Leo froze when he saw the message. He hesitated for a long moment before replying.
"That rogue... is he really your avatar? And someone else can control him?"
Ethan responded instantly.
"Yes. Any problems?"
Skyblade took a while before replying.
"A few days ago, we even went out for drinks…"
Ethan nodded at the message. That sounded like Morzan—a true drunkard if there ever was one. But just drinking? That shouldn't have rattled Leo this much, especially if he knew that was Ethan's avatar.
He typed back quickly:
"Spill it. What happened?"
