Eve was dead, and that was that.

Orpheus had dealt with her.

Now that everything was over, Orpheus, Mortis, and Gravis only looked at each other awkwardly.

The Black Magnate saw that the atmosphere became weird and simply teleported away.

"I'm happy you're still alive," Orpheus said after some seconds of silence to Gravis and Mortis. Orpheus didn't only see Gravis as his little brother, but Mortis too. In a sense, Mortis was even more similar to the little brother he had met back then.

"What did you do?" Gravis asked with a sigh as he rubbed the bridge of his nose in a mix of frustration and annoyance. He had pushed Orpheus away, but Orpheus had come to help him anyway.

How was he supposed to not feel guilty?

How was he supposed to be angry at Orpheus?

Orpheus knew what Gravis referred to, and he only answered with a smile. "I simply assumed the position of Ancestor in the Myriad Sect. I don't have a Sect anyway, and you all need an Ancestor. Without an Ancestor, the Myriad Sect can't talk and negotiate with other powerful Sects."

"I know," Gravis said. "I meant, what did you do to help me with my Sin Aura? You were responsible for paying back nearly 50% of my Sin Aura."

Orpheus looked at Gravis in surprise.

First of all, Orpheus wanted to know how Gravis could know these things. Gravis hadn't even seen what Orpheus had done, but Gravis still somehow knew how much of his Sin Aura had been dealt with by Orpheus.

Did father tell them?

Orpheus wasn't sure.

Sadly, no one knew that Gravis had already talked to the highest Heaven several times. The things they had talked about had to remain a secret.

Not even Stella knew that Gravis had talked with the highest Heaven.

However, Orpheus still believed Gravis. Gravis had spoken these words very naturally, and it was obvious that he thought his sources to be reliable.

Orpheus awkwardly scratched the back of his head with a bitter laugh. "I actually didn't want to tell you all what I did. Not even Manuel knows what I have done to help you."

Orpheus sighed. "Well, seems like I can't keep it a secret. I wanted to keep it hidden to show you some of my sincerity, but that's impossible now."
