The Evolution Witch had given Ves an essential reminder.
He was walking on thin ice.
It had become painfully difficult for Ves to cling onto the secrets that he wanted to hide the most.
The fact that it was starting to become common knowledge among tier 1 galactic citizens that he was the Holy Son of the Metal Scroll annoyed Ves a lot!
While the reactions from the leaders of red humanity were much better than the worst case scenario, they were not exactly the best either.
"It has been centuries since the Five Scrolls Compact met its end." Ves said in a resentful tone. "I can understand that the people who have survived that conflict have constantly remained on guard against its revival, but the chances of that happening in the Red Ocean is too low. They should be worrying about present day conflicts a lot more."
