Four years!
Four years ago, Julius Reed left Demarco Mount.
At that time, Demarco Mount was in chaos, with rival factions battling each other, and no one could take charge.
If Hiddy is correct, it only means that after Julius Reed left, someone arrived at Demarco Mount and laid a powerful formation.
"It started with the Dusty Platform laying plans in advance, drawing on various forces, attempting to establish authority, and forcing you into exile. You took this opportunity to completely sever the person within you using another method."
Hiddy pointed to the mountain peak: "And this person took advantage of your mutual manipulation to set up a formation in Demarco Mount, likely having foreseen the day you would return."
"Who could it be? An insider?" Julius Reed recalled Mr. River's words and prepared to force his way through. "If we don't resolve this issue, we'll be trapped here to our deaths."
The sky above him turned even darker.
