Some time ago, within the Lion clan's estate, following a vote with the Scales of Conviction, Chris and Byrne were left alone.
Chris, who had already finished observing his surroundings, spoke in a calm tone, "There is no surveillance within the manor."
Byrne nodded in understanding, knowing that Chris was alerting him to be wary of the Lion clan, as in recent times indeed, spies from the Lion clan had been rooted out by Lilian and other Extraordinary Exponents of the Path of Divine Sacrifice and were secretly dealt with.
Although no significant intelligence was leaked, Bast knew them all too well, and the old man was too clever; it was very likely he would guess something.
For instance, the deep secrets of the Fischer family.
Thus, in the recent defense of Fein City, Byrne began to silently observe the demonic traits exhibited by Bast, preparing for a future battle with the Lion clan.
However, it was merely preparation.
