Leon snapped back to attention and scowled. “Is there anything else, or can we end this call?”

“Wait, don’t hang up.” King quickly said. “Oliver mentioned a new sect leader has emerged. They say it’s some kid. Should we take her out before she settles in?”

Leon stayed quiet, pondering.

Ever since the old sect leader died, the Ghost Sect had been unstable. Underneath the apparent calm, a storm was brewing. The new, younger leader was especially vulnerable in this environment, easy to overthrow without leaving a trace.

They chose to remain uninvolved in the turmoil.

“We’ll stay out of it,” Leon finally decided. “We don’t need to get involved in their internal struggles. The new leader’s identity isn’t important to us,” he stated, his voice carrying a maturity and sharpness beyond his years.

King rubbed his chin, considering. “True, if the kid has the bracelet and stays out of our way, maybe it’s smarter to let her try to manage the chaos.”

“Exactly.”

King hesitated. “Should we let Oliver know our plan?”

Leon dismissed the idea. “No, he talks too much. The less he knows, the safer our position.”

“Alright,” King acknowledged quietly.

Oliver, ever naive, still believed in the sect’s supposed ideals of brotherhood and respect, oblivious to the real turmoil and deceit within its ranks.
