Pay it Forward

"We've found him!"

The voice came suddenly and with far more speed than anything could have expected. Liana was caught off guard and immediately made a move. 

They made a move to circle around the apartment. At the same time, feeling that there was something odd about this occurrence, Liana contacted her brother as well. 

…

Vivak frowned when he received the message. Found him already? What were the odds of that? 

He shook his head. No, it should make sense. 

He had been monitoring Leonel all the while, which meant that there was no way he had swapped a Blood Clone in before the arena battle. The only time he should have had to do so was when everyone thought he was dead and the security was more lax as a result. 

That should mean that the real Leonel was likely heavily injured. It made sense that he wouldn't be able to make it far. 

After some thought, he got up and made a move as well, giving Anselma and her butler a glance.
