"However, entering the ice field from the north, there is a ruin discovered by the Riverborn Clan containing a large amount of rare ores."
"Previously, I sent people there to seize it."
"Many disciples died before we captured the ruin, but a brat named Ryan managed to escape. That kid's whereabouts are still unknown. Flying Snow City issued a wanted poster and sent people to track him down."
"Could it be that the deaths of Seventh Elder and Erna are related to this boy?"
"Did the Riverborn Clan dispatch experts to rescue Ryan ahead of us, killing Seventh Elder and Erna in the process?"
Wilford stroked his chin, deep in thought.
Almost immediately, he overturned his own conclusion.
There were only so many people in the Riverborn Clan capable of killing Seventh Elder and Erna. Right now, every one of them was pinned down near the ancestral lands. None could spare the time or manpower.
"Could it be that the Riverborn Clan found outside help?"
