The Vice-head of the Xander family, Kadh Xander was in a terrible mood this week.
The initial hunt was going well. The Xanders, heading the Earth hunting teams were slowly pushing back the abyssals.
Bit by bit, they were filling the gap Evander's absence created. Sooner or later, the abyssals would lose their edge and the status quo would be restored.
'As the one directing the hunting teams, I'll get a lot of credit.' Kadh imagined his fame skyrocketing and couldn't stop smiling that day.
Then, it started.
Caleb was the first to fall.
Kadh thought it was bad luck. Even geniuses met their demise on the battlefield.
But.
Nolan was quick to join his dead brother.
Easton joined the duo soon after.
Kadh panicked and thought of calling them back.
'It's a bit shameful, but saving their lives is more important.'
He decided to wait and watch for one day before making the call.
