A mystical sound resonated through the void prison as Kiin complied, letting a drop of his blood fall onto the peak-grade Orb of Truth.
It was the first time Shye had ever used such a costly item, one he had acquired from the organization's black market for 10,000 gold coins.
Naturally, Shye never took his eyes off Kiin, scrutinizing even the slightest of his reactions to detect any signs of deceit.
Although he was hesitant to resort to such an extreme measure as soul-searching to uncover the truth from his blue-haired "close friend," Shye understood the critical importance of identifying the true Fifteenth Hawkling.
After all, recruiting the wrong person into the organization could lead to catastrophic consequences.
Seeing the orb of truth turn purple, Shye looked Kiin in the eyes with an icy gaze, as though trying to peer through the depths of his very soul.
He then spoke, "So, Kiin Wujin, are you or are you not the Fifteenth Hawkling?"
