The Maugrim man was still unsure of what was happening. He took an instinctive step back as Malakai approached.
"You will accept this Clausebane." His tone left no room for argument.
The man trembled, heart pounding. There was no choice. His eyes almost bulged out as he saw the clauses Malakai included in their forced agreement.
"I-I'm finished," he murmured, wearing the Clausebane.
"You can take him back."
Without another word, Nyx carried him back to the Red Maw, returning a moment later.
Whiteshade gulped as Malakai's eyes turned to him. He had almost forgotten what a monster the child was. He had forced him under his control, after all.
"Tell me about your clan head," Malakai asked.
Laila and Grunde landed on the branch the next moment.
"Ninth vein."
"Little bro."
Malakai's eyes never left Whiteshade, and he soon became the center of attention.
"W-what about him?"
"His fight with the Fourth Pulse… do you know anything about that?"
