In the reception hall, three men sat together—Charles, Nolan, and Adrian.
Elana had been called away by her mother for some reason, though none of them thought to ask why.

Ever since the incident during the tournament, Umbral had been gaining increasing recognition.
And this latest event had only fueled the discussion further.
