Theron's mind took in several thoughts at once.
It was impossible for him to miss the mention of an adopted son. Was he speaking about Beifong? Theron was under the impression that Beifong was just the adopted son of a random elder, likely quite high up in the chain of command, but not this high up.
Had a father set a kill notice on his own son?
Theron had known from the beginning that the Patriarch couldn't be trusted, but even he didn't expect that it would be to this extent.
However, the rest was arguably just as intriguing. What could bind someone of the Patriarch's caliber so greatly?
Honestly speaking, Theron had never heard of a cultivation level above Gold. None of the books or anything of the sort that he had come across ever mentioned it.
