Thinking this far, many things began to fall into place for Soren.
For example—
Aegon was not the one who placed the bounty on his head.
Of course it had to be a noble family. Only nobles had the wealth to casually throw around a reward of one hundred thousand points.
But not Aegon.
Aegon had simply taken advantage of the situation.
Using Sophia and her brothers.
Using the other second-year students who were desperate for points.
He had turned them into hunting dogs.
Soren's gaze slowly shifted toward the three leaders standing nearby.
Kiva.
Li.
Buttermint.
He shook his head faintly.
It couldn't be them.
They were openly trying to recruit him.
If they wanted him dead, they wouldn't be offering twenty thousand points a month.
Which meant the culprit had to be someone else.
Someone he had offended.
Someone who would benefit from him disappearing.
Soren's mind returned once again to the Ivory family.
If it was them…
