I paced back and forth in my chamber, the Man with the Mustache's cryptic message replaying in my mind. The urgency in his voice was unlike anything I'd heard from him before.
"A change in the Immortal Bane Sect," I muttered to myself, running a hand through my disheveled hair.
His next words chilled me to the bone: "The corpses we saw last time... I think they're moving. Something's bringing them back, Liam. Something from deep beneath the earth."
Revived corpses. An entire massacred sect, potentially returning from the dead. The implications were staggering, but I couldn't afford to be distracted. Isabelle's safety remained my priority.
My wounds throbbed as I made my way down to the detention level. Each step was a reminder of my battle with Barrett Hill. The victory had come at a cost, but it had sent a clear message to my enemies.
