For a moment, the air grew suffocating. Nobody knew what to say or do. Everyone sat frozen under the pressure.
And Logan… he kept walking. Step by step, he advanced toward Mirena slowly.
"Don't you dare touch my mother!" Darius roared from his seat. He tried to rise, but his body betrayed him; he couldn't even move an inch.
Mirena's eyes widened in terror. "Damn it! I shouldn't have said that. I dug my own grave. He already knew it was me who sent Zereth after him." She cursed under her breath, panic clawing at her chest.
Logan's voice was calm, but it cut through the silence like a blade. "Why don't you tell everyone the truth, Lady Mirena? Why don't you let them know what you've been doing all along? How our family even became entangled with the Third Eye Sect in the first place."
