A promise, a declaration
"What do you mean Uncle's dead?!"
"As I said patriarch, the Marquis de Howlite has been slain, his mansion has been burnt to the ground and his ledger has been stolen or destroyed."
"Godsdammit!," the man cursed while shattering the cup of tea in his hand with an angry grip. Unsurprisingly, neither the shards of ceramic nor burning hot tea had so much as damage his skin, the perks of being an Aether Warrior in general, a Grand Master specifically.
At the same time as Zhen Liu and his family were about to leave, news from Emerald Eye had just arrived to Stone Claw, in regards to the sudden death of the Marquis and the circus accident.
The latter piece of news was of a bigger deal to the Zhen Clan, since it was public showing of their clan's capabilities in handling aether beasts and the quality of their warriors, while the former piece of news was important to none other than the Wolfe Family, more specifically, the family patriarch: Jacob Wolfe.
