As the official departed, leaving Wan Yu in the company of the guards, the bulky guard approached him.
"Mr. Wan Yu, you have to believe me. Master Kaleb and your brother were close friends. There's no way Master Kaleb would have harmed him. He wouldn't even hurt an ant, let alone a friend," the burly guard insisted, his voice laced with worry.
"It's your word against a mountain of evidence. You need to prove Kaleb's innocence. And don't try to convince me some fog ability user escaped through the window," Wan Yu stated, his voice firm and resolute.
"But it's the truth! You have to believe me!" the burly guard pleaded, but Wan Yu seemed unmoved.
"I wasn't the only one who noticed something. These two did as well," the burly guard said, gesturing towards two guards standing amongst the others. They were the same two who had arrived just after Alastor had slipped into Kaleb's room, the ones who had detected the faint aura of his Shadow Domain.
