Inside the council hall—
"President, the Guardian of the Starborn Clan has entered the city," Colt reported.
Leo nodded slightly.
"Let them in."
At that moment, Walter entered as well, accompanied by Mephisto, the Glacian patriarch.
"President," Walter saluted respectfully.
Leo's gaze shifted toward Mephisto, and his brow furrowed.
The stench of Void Zerg energy on this one was almost suffocating.
At Leo's side, Magnar also showed a trace of puzzlement.
Sensing the weight of those gazes, Mephisto immediately bowed slightly, breaking the tense silence.
"Honorable human lord, I am Mephisto, patriarch of the Glacians. I've come to offer my congratulations on the founding of Dalton Town."
He paused, forcing a bitter smile.
"I imagine you have some doubts about my people's connection to the Void Zerg…"
He quickly began to explain.
The Glacians, he said, were among many races who had cooperated with the Zerg—providing resources and intelligence.
