While the conversation in the hall was taking place, another much quiet discussion was unfolding in the same hall.
With a little play of sorcery, Hunter was able to facilitate the mental communication between those he wanted to. Although it did consume a lot of mana, it was the best bet if they wanted to keep things as secretive and confidential as possible.
The conversation was unfolding between himself, Cain, and Hunter.
"There is a traitor in our midst."
Hearing Hunter's thoughts made Cain narrow his eyes unwittingly.
Steve grunted,
"I thought as much. Then it is as I suspected. Rushing into a battle will only be to our detriment."
"A traitor, huh..."
As they spoke out, their thoughts were also being conveyed to one another. A rather spiffy evolved perk of Hunter's ability.
Steve thought,
"It isn't really hard to imagine. We do not necessarily have the best precautions against something like that."
"What makes you think there is a traitor?" Cain asked.
"Timing."
