Fleeing

This arrogant proclamation sent the watching crowd into a tizzy, with rage and fury clouding the faces of the many citizens of the Black Raven Kingdom as they started hurling insults and retorts at the man in the middle whose blood they now wanted to drink.

Even the wizened man beside Faxul displayed a temper that didn't match his age, making him feel a heat as the elementary particles around the man reacted to his emotions.

Watching the entire situation around him, Faxul wondered again if there was any other option.

According to the discussion he had had with Daneel, this commotion was necessary for their future plans.

Yet, Faxul had argued that it would better serve them if he managed to stay behind in his disguise.

Sadly, there was no way to hoodwink the identity detector. Hence, they had no option but to flee.

Of course, before running away, there was a small something they had to do.
