However, Sebastian still sensed something was off. The gatekeepers had changed.

During his brief stay at the Sanders Manor, the guards had always been the same few individuals on rotation. Yet now, unfamiliar figures stood watch.

Sebastian's suspicions deepened further when his spiritual senses detected even the hidden sentries had been replaced. However, his probing was limited by the reach of his spiritual senses.

"Mr. Sanders, Mr. Ethan has arrived," one of the guards announced upon reaching the grand hall.

Francis quickly emerged to greet him. "Mr. Ethan! What brings you here?"
