The elders thought Athena was mentally unstable, but they couldn't deny that it was precisely this so-called lunatic who had revived the Aurellan family and brought them back to the peak.
Athena might be arrogant, stubborn, even mad, but her ability was something no one could deny.
At last, a female elder spoke softly: "Very well, deal with Sylus if you can—but before that, I hope you can uncover his secret."
Athena sneered, lips curling: "You should have let me do that when you first captured him."
None of the elders said a word.
The truth was, they were still worried and afraid. If Athena succeeded, she could push the Aurellan family one step further. But if she failed, they feared Sylus would take revenge.
Still, thinking carefully, Athena wasn't wrong. The Aurellan family was now flourishing like the midday sun, and no matter how strong Sylus was, he was still just a man. Immortality? So what? That would only bring him eternal torment if he fell into Athena's hands.
