Returning to the Zhao mansion, Lin Tian found himself drawn to the study of Old Master Zhao. The man's reaction to his earlier display had been odd—fearful, almost as if he knew something Lin Tian didn't.
As Lin Tian searched the room, his eyes fell on an old, locked chest. With a swift motion, he broke the lock, revealing a collection of faded documents. Among them was a letter bearing the seal of the Heavenly Dragon Clan.
The letter spoke of a secret pact between the Zhao family and the Abyssal Order—a betrayal that had contributed to the clan's downfall.
Lin Tian's fists clenched. "So, the Zhao family played a role in my clan's destruction," he muttered. "And they've kept it hidden all this time."
The pieces were starting to fall into place, and Lin Tian's resolve hardened. He would uncover the full truth, no matter the cost.
