Jorffany was bluffing. Kieran was utterly sure about that.

Otherwise, judging from how crazy the Elder Council sounded from the rumors, how could they mixed up the relation between him and the council and allow the world to decide for him whether to join the council or not?

Such methods were too timid! It didn't seem or feel like the council's way of doing things.

Forcing and ordering him to join their ranks was what the council should display and should he reject, they would kill him directly together with the people related to him, which would only fit the image of the Elder Council in people's hearts.

Especially facing against people or factions related to the Saint Relic Association, no mercy should be shown.

"Did something happened within Elder Council?" Kieran guessed silently.

The guess didn't relieve him though. Although the fewer the lunatics like the Elder Council, the better, it was a disadvantage for Kieran.
