After leaving the room, the group was escorted away by the three young masters of the Kageyama clan. Sael had an inkling that things were not going to go the way they wanted.
The moment the Patriarch asked them to leave gave that away. Hence, he continued to feel like they had to take matters into their own hands.
He didn't know how powerful the sons and daughters of the Kageyama clan were, but he knew that none of them were Ascendants yet. But that wasn't what made them dangerous—so it mattered very little.
He didn't know how an all-out battle would turn out, but he knew they had to try. Jynxa could take one; Zahir and Ryan's combination could handle more than two. He himself could take one, the Marked blade could take one. Ghost of the Grey Lantern was a very mysterious Drifter—even Sael didn't know his capabilities.
But he wanted to be optimistic, so he'd say two. That accounted for all the sons and daughters of the Kageyama clan, but they weren't the only problem.
