Patriarch Volcanus sat in his imposing chamber within the Sunfire Clan's headquarters, pondering the recent events involving the Crimson Tower. The news of Evan, Livia, and Aiden's return had reached him, but a notable absence caught his attention—Marco.
Volcanus, a formidable figure with eyes that burned with the fire of his bloodline, addressed the three young clan members before him. "You have returned from the Crimson Tower, but where is Marco? Did he not accompany you?"
Evan, with a casual air that contrasted with his powerful aura, nonchalantly replied, "We didn't see him, Patriarch. He probably got himself killed on the second floor."
Livia, her expression one of indifference, echoed Evan's sentiment. "Yes, Patriarch. Marco's strength was always lacking. It's no surprise if he met his end there."
