"What? You are the traitor!" Mister M's outburst was a sharp, venomous accusation, his face contorted with disbelief and fury as he leapt from his seat.
"No, Mister M, allow me to explain," Specter's voice was smooth, almost soothing despite the gravity of the situation.
"I provided them with the location to confirm that the magician is indeed aligned with the Blackouts.
Furthermore, the children are tainted with the aura of Goddess Lussi. In mere days, there will be ample souls for our ritual."
Mister M's eyes widened in a mix of shock and cunning realization. "You mean to say that this chaos could be turned to our advantage?"
"Precisely," Specter replied, his voice dripping with malevolent satisfaction. "By embroiling the Blackouts in the task of managing the children, we create the perfect opportunity. We can eliminate that magician and abduct his sister and Chloe for the ritual's completion."
