At Scar's end, he sat in silence, staring at Ren's last message on his screen.
The more he thought about it, the more something nagged at the back of his mind—something familiar about the name. Ren.
He frowned, rubbing his chin. Ren... that was the same name Silvia mentioned before. And—his eyes narrowed—the same name that Lily once talked about in her tantrum over guild chat a few days ago.
The one who owned a pet.
Could they be the same person?
Scar leaned back in his chair, his mind running fast. The coincidences stacked too perfectly. The hooded player who sold him information about Vulcan's Cave—calm, precise, and clearly experienced—fit the exact description Silvia once gave of her temporary teammate.
Even the payment method matched. Ren had sent him a New Era Bank account, a system known for its extreme security and anonymity. Not even Scar's family's influence could dig up a name behind those encrypted numbers. Whoever Ren was, he was careful—very careful.
