Nailisi chased after Saleen. "Master, that guy wanted to steal Her Highness Lex but he wasn't able to. Don't do anything stupid..."
Saleen wanted to turn around and slug her in the face, but he did not have time. If he lost sight of his target, who was a level ten assassin, it would be difficult for even his Elemental Eye to detect him when he concealed himself again.
Agares had probably been in the fish's stomach for a long time. Saleen had not been aware of Agares' presence, and that meant that his worries had been real.
Agares' laughter had completely disappeared. Saleen was distracted by Nailisi, and he lost Agares. Agares seemed like he had never been there in the first place. Even under close scrutiny of the Elemental Eye, there was no trace of human activity in the portal to be found.
