He paced back and forth. He was frustated. "I ignored them after their failure to kill Lucius."
He put his hand on his chin. "I also let them handle their mess because of the problems in my own family, but how could this be possible?"
Kaltrik stopped pacing and slammed his fist against the wall. "The Garrans were a count family! They weren't some weak, low-level nobodies. How could they be destroyed so easily?"
He attempted to put it all together. "First, our family's Evolist Hub is destroyed."
He then looked at the news again. "And now this. It's not a coincidence. It can't be."
Kaltrik touched his chin again. "There's someone… no, some group, operating in the shadows. Someone powerful enough to wipe out an entire Count family without leaving a trace."
He clenched his fist. "Damn it! "How can things get so out of control?"
