"The guy pulling the strings?"
Olivia's brow creased in puzzlement.
"Isn't Prince Three's right-hand man, Raul, the supposed mastermind? "
"Didn't Caesar take him down already? Are you suggesting there's someone even bigger behind Raul?"
Elias nodded solemnly. "The whole mess did kick off with Raul's crazy plan to summon a dark god, but let me tell you, he was just a small fish in a much bigger, darker pond..."
Olivia's eyes widened in shock, her grip tightening on Elias's hand.
"You actually saw what he tried to summon? You laid eyes on that dark god??"
Elias met her gaze with a seriousness that weighed heavy in the air, silently nodding.
"Who is it? What kind of presence is it?" Olivia asked hastily.
Elias, however, firmly shook his head. "I can't spill the beans, and I really shouldn't. Just dropping their name can open a can of worms."
