"rlin! Long ti no see!" Kane grinned as he saw the middle-aged man appear in the hall.
"You've gotten worse," rlin said, shaking his head in pity. "It's corrupting you."
"Hahaha, you said the sa thing that day," Kane smiled strangely.
rlin frowned. "And I was right. You're changing in ways even you can't comprehend."
"That was just an excuse," Kane shook his head and looked at rlin with a serious expression. "You just don't want Nuwa to marry ."
"I did what I had to do," rlin replied, shaking his head before turning his attention to Orion. "And as my daughter said, you're coming with us to the Celestial Court. They will decide whether you're guilty or not."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Orion felt a restraint, like shackles binding him and restricting his movents. He couldn't move from his position at all.
"What did you do?!" he shouted at rlin. This was the first ti he had felt so weak in front of soone. Though he could still free himself from this imprisonnt, he still had to act to prevent others from doubting him.
"Just imprisoned the space around you," rlin said, then turned his attention back to Kane.
"I will be taking him," he stated firmly.
"Hahahaha," Kane laughed, raising his head high and placing his right hand on his face. "This isn't your backyard where you can take anyone and leave just because you want to."
rlin smirked. "You can't stop ."
"Then, you're in for one hell of a surprise!" Kane smiled, and suddenly, both he and rlin turned their attention toward soone in surprise.
Orion, watching them, felt uneasy and also turned his attention to where they were looking.
'Shit!'
His eyes narrowed as he spotted a masked man among the Silverfla family. Kane and rlin were both staring in that direction, and Orion had a hunch it was related to him..
"Haha, I've been discovered," the masked man laughed lightly and stepped forward.
'Damn!' Orion's expression darkened as he realized it was indeed the masked man who had drawn their attention.
Although he didn't know who the man was or his intentions, Orion had been suspicious of him from the mont he entered the hall because of his mask.
'I hope I'm wrong,' Orion thought, hoping the man had nothing to do with him.
"Kid, you're wearing a low-quality skin treasure and you possess sothing you shouldn't have," rlin said, narrowing his eyes.
"I was just trying to use the treasure for sothing, but who would've thought it would attract the attention of rlin the Magician and the Sword Sage—two of the strongest beings in the world," the masked man said in a sowhat strange tone.
"One of the eight primordial cosmic wonders?" Kane asked.
The masked man nodded and didn't hide it. "You're right." He said and took out a mirror shaded in black and white.
"Mirror of Black and White!" Both rlin and Kane exclaid in unison.
"You two should know what it can do, right?" the masked man asked with a smile.
rlin stated, "The ability to see anything and the ability to change anything, but I heard it can only be used once every decade or so."
The masked man nodded. "The sages are indeed wise."
"What are you going to do with this?" Kane asked, narrowing his eyes. "You can't change any reality or anything with the pitiful amount of mana you possess."
"You're right," the masked man nodded pitifully and then turned his attention to rlin. "I want to give this treasure to Sir rlin."
A playful smile appeared on rlin's face when he heard him. "You only have one year of life left. You've already used the treasure in exchange for your life, and now you're humbly giving it to . I doubt your intentions."
The masked man smiled wryly. "It seems I couldn't even hide this fact." He shook his head helplessly.
"You shouldn't have shown such treasures in public, especially in front of rlin," Kane said, shaking his head in pity.
"I've already prepared for that," the masked man said, surprising both Kane and rlin. At that mont, understanding dawned upon them.
"It seems you two have figured it out," the masked man said when he saw the change in expression on Kane and rlin's faces.
He explained, "I used the Mirror of Black and White and asked it to return to my hands whenever I wish, so it doesn't matter if any of you take it away."
"Clever move," rlin complinted. "With the power of the treasure in effect, until the mirror returns to you, you can't even die, so we can't kill you either."
He then added with a curious expression, "Though I do wonder why you sacrificed almost all of your life for this?"
"It's all because of this guy!" The masked man said, pointing at Orion.
Orion's face darkened when he saw the masked man pointing at him.
'This guy was indeed after , and from what I've heard, the treasure can do anything…' He cursed, feeling his heart rate increase with his thoughts.
On the other hand, Kane's expression darkened while rlin beca even more curious. Before coming here, he had reviewed all the reports on the Magus Kingdom's situation and learned many things, including much about Orion.
While he was at it, he also requested reports on the reason for Carl's group's presence in the Magus Kingdom. But to his surprise, the report was empty, and he had to personally visit Carl's family to uncover the truth. When he did, everything beca clear.
"You think he indeed killed them, and you want to prove him guilty, is that right?" rlin asked, sowhat intrigued.
The masked man nodded. "I want everyone to know the truth."
rlin smirked, realizing there could be no good reason for the masked man to do sothing like this—only irreconcilable hatred could push soone to sacrifice their entire life.
