Suddenly, John had a thought and asked, "Wasn't Captain Victor at the scene as well? Did he not notice anything either?"
Theodore pinched the bridge of his nose, replying, "It's precisely because Victor also didn't notice anything that we're taking this so seriously."
John was momentarily taken aback but quickly grasped the implication.
His expression turned exceedingly grave.
Victor's talent lies in sensing the presence of others, yet someone managed to act under his watch without detection.
Just how terrifying must this individual's strength be?
The thought that this person might have been silently observing his fight with Rean made John's scalp tingle, and cold sweat covered his forehead.
If the enemy had targeted him during the battle, even Victor's presence might not have saved his life.
Unwittingly, he had brushed shoulders with death!
This belated realization of horror left John feeling profoundly unsettled.
