Alden walked out of the small networking event. It had barely been five minutes since he entered.
But in his defence, the message only said he had to come, not how long he had to stay.
Still, that woman from earlier lingered in his thoughts.
Her presence had felt… too familiar. Almost like something deep within him had recognized her.
Which made no sense. He had barely met any Beastmen besides Cipher and Vanyaa.
Wait a minute—
Is she somehow related to them?
That could explain it.
Because of that weird artifact, Vanyaa was technically his subordinate. Maybe that connection had reacted to the woman's presence.
Maybe.
Well, who cares?
Still… that girl's ability was dangerous.
He didn't know exactly how it worked but from what he had seen, she could somehow slip between dimensions, disappearing and reappearing at will or maybe with some conditions.
Not that it mattered.
He could've avoided her strike easily if he wanted to.
