Garion smiled slowly, his eyes calm but sharp. "Let me make it easier for you to think."
Vargan narrowed his eyes slightly. "Easier?"
Sarona didn't speak, but her gaze focused more intently on him.
Garion reached into his coat and pulled something out, which was a thin rectangular device.
The moment it appeared, both Vargan and Sarona stiffened.
"…Don't tell me," Vargan muttered under his breath.
Sarona's calm expression cracked just a little. "How do you have that?"
Garion smirked, holding it up casually. "So you recognize it."
Vargan leaned forward, his tone lower now. "That's not something a top clan leader should have."
Sarona's voice followed, quieter but sharper. "That belongs only to…"
She didn't finish, but Garion did. "Grand factions."
Silence fell instantly.
Vargan slowly turned his head toward Aveline.
She didn't rush to speak. She simply nodded once. "It's true. God Gym has officially been recognized."
