Those with more power recognized that it was Wolfe advancing to King Rank, which might also meet the requirements for some of them, but mostly it was going to be a turning point in the world.
He wasn't the only King currently on the planet, but his aura was so distinct, so uniquely local, that there was no doubt that it had to be him.
