This was a lot of information to take in all at once. Now, Orion couldn't help but let his smile loose.

"Tell me how." He said, raising his hand forward. As he did, an orb atop a pedestal was summoned from his storage ring.

It was a lie-detecting orb.

Ionel went on to explain what he had been doing during the past year.

Back when he had 'died' in the 4th Domain of Jetai, someone found him at his last breaths and somehow kindled his miniature flame back to an ember.

It was the helpers sent by the Mercenary Guild to check on the Zephyr Serpent Quest's potential survivors.

Ionel said that the man left him and that he didn't catch a glimpse of him, but the truth was that after a day or so of traveling and getting his health back, he slayed the helper in his sleep.

From that day onwards, Ionel spent the months rigorously researching Sol's every single movement, driven by his ruthless ambition for revenge.
