Kailen had ensured that a shadow creature had gone through the teleportation portal with Ethan.
This was how he was sure that Ethan was at the other end of the teleportation gate.
This was because he was observing Ethan through the eyes of the shadow creature.
Kailen honestly did not care much about Ethan, but they had a deal, and it wouldn't inconvenience Kailen in any way for honoring it.
Also, naturally, with the way Kailen treated those in his circle, he would have avoided a deal with Ethan because Ethan's late brother had actually made things difficult for Anaya.
But this deal was something that could actually be a good way to secure an ally from the Sea realm.
Also, it would also be a good way to help Anaya get her revenge for the man's actions and also secure protection for her family.
One thing she said, during the time she recalled what had happened between her and Farel, was that the leader of the Revearson clan tolerated his son's actions and did nothing to stop it.
