Not long later, Leonel left with his brothers, leaving a few words for the Etching Metal organization. He saw no reason not to trust Raylion and the others. While he placed his Emperor's Mark on Jemsy and the other three heads, there was no way he would do the same to the four founding heads.
"It seems we didn't waste our time," Aphestus said after a long while. He had a wild grin on his face.
He remembered the first time he met Leonel he could have beaten him any time he wanted. But just months later, he was already incapable of lasting a few blows, and now, decades later, to say that Leonel could defeat him with a single strike wasn't giving Leonel enough credit.
Raylion didn't say anything to this, but he felt Sael's small hand slip into his own.
While Raylion didn't show any sort of emotion, Sael understood him the best. There was no one here who wanted this result more than Raylion himself.
