The Jiang Family Third Elder picked up his teacup but didn't drink. He gently traced its rim with his fingertips and slowly began to speak. "Patrolling aimlessly like this is no way to solve this."
He looked up at the two men, his gaze solemn. "The enemy is hidden while we are exposed. He kills and then vanishes without a trace. If we let this drag on, it will only spread more panic, which is exactly what the fiend wants."
