Veylin frowned at her suggestion. On one hand, he wanted to complete his mission, and on the other, he didn't want any casualties among the team he led.
"Alright, I will wait," Veylin said with a gloomy expression, having decided to hold off.
Max smiled coldly upon hearing that.
Five glanced at the man in the mask from the Black Lotus guild. "Looks like you guys won," he said, his voice calm.
The man in the mask signaled Max with his eyes. "He doesn't think so. Not yet."
Five's eyes narrowed as he glanced at Max, his expression turning mysterious. "He can use black flames just like you," he said, turning to the man in the mask. "Does he have some connection to the Black Lotus guild?"
The man in the mask glanced at Five and replied, "None that I know of so far."
Five gazed deeply at him before closing his eyes.
Everyone waited in silence for everything to come to an end.
