Aksai blinked, his brow furrowing as he tried to process what Haitin was saying.
"What do you mean, brother Haitin?" he asked, his voice tinged with both shock and curiosity.
Haitin glanced over at Lini before turning back to Aksai, his expression calm but knowing.
"The presence of both Siya Solaris and Lini Lowanfield in the Wild Devil Lands at the same time is no coincidence," he began slowly, letting his words sink in.
"It's connected to how the Haan Di Lord got severely injured. The Sun Ocean Society's Lord and the Green Glory Palace's Lord both know something about it. So, instead of coming here themselves in a more direct manner, they sent their disciples—pawns in a larger game."
At this, both Siya and Lini's faces shifted. First to shock, then to a more hostile disbelief. They both stood stiff, anger simmering just below the surface.
