He knows that Xylarion's knowledge could be the key to restoring the veil, but he also understands the risks of placing their trust in someone whose true motives remain unclear. His gaze meets Xylarion's, searching for any sign of deceit, but all he finds is a calm, determined resolve."I'll follow your lead," Kael finally says, his voice steady but tinged with caution. "But understand this, Xylarion—if you betray us, there will be no place in this realm or any other where you can hide."Xylarion nods solemnly, acknowledging the gravity of Kael's words. "I expect n

The weight of their sacrifice pressed heavily on his shoulders. "We must understand what happened here," he said, his voice low but firm. "This interference... it wasn't random. Someone or something is trying to stop us."Naolin, her face pale but determined, nodded in agreement. "Xylarion's sacrifice bought us time, but we can't afford to be complacent.

"Whoever they are, the
The Celestial Heist Chapter 149: Descent into the Abyss
