The chimera ant's eyes gleamed with a somber wisdom. "Lord Fein, my presence alone could have jeopardized the delicate balance of the situation. Any sudden movement, any interference from me, and the snake would have sensed it. It was a risk I could not afford to take. Since we don't know the locations of the hand behind the scenes, I decided not to move."
The tone of chimera ant was rational and reasonable. "I don't want to fail you. Although I can easily wipe out all the demons their, it would alert the ones pulling the strings."
"Well, you did the best move, but its not the right thing..." Fein's grip tightened on the armrest of the sofa, his frustration evident. "So, we still don't know where those demon controllers are hiding? We still have no leads?"
