"Sir, why are we going back to Xantheos City?" asked one of the spies working for the Blackfang Dominion. "Shouldn't you attack them so they'd understand that you're no pushover?"
"Why should I bother attacking them? They're already too scared to come out and fight us in the open." Thirteen asked back. "I'm not a bully, you know?"
None of the spies who happened to be part of Thirteen's entourage could understand the motive behind the teenage boy's excursion.
If only they knew he was simply buying time for Tiona and her Demons, waiting for them to finish snatching the control over the Great Killing Array, they wouldn't have wasted even half a second before informing their superiors about the upcoming tragedy.
Unfortunately for them, they were meant to discover the upcoming tragedy only when it had already started. And by then, it would be too late.
When Thirteen and his entourage returned to the City of Xantheos, Kamrusepa made sure to give them a warm welcome.
