Walker Of The Worlds

The thin and scholarly man nodded and allowed the veiled woman to approach.

"Go ahead." The thin man said.

The veiled woman then produced a scroll in her hand, likely from a spatial treasure, and passed it to the thin man.

"I've taken the liberty to compile all the intelligence we've gathered, my lord. There are some parts you'll find rather, fascinating." The veiled woman spoke with a respectful tone.

The thin man opened the scroll and started reading it with his full concentration. At first, the man's expression seemed rather disinterested, but later it became more interested until finally, it reached the peak of elation.

"Hahaha!" The thin man laughed out loud.

"You've done well, very well. Seems like we have an interesting contender here." The thin man spoke with a joyous tone.

"How do we proceed, my lord? Do we bring him to you?" The veiled woman questioned.

"We know that his senses are sharp and he's been able to detect our people before. We also don't know who's backing him, but considering his strength and talent, I would say it's someone strong."

The man said and paused before continuing,

"Don't approach him for now and just observe him. Try to get a clue about his backer, if it's someone from our 'list', eliminate him. Otherwise, we may have a new pawn to play with." The thin man said.

"My lord, we still have one of our men watching him. He still has the old orders and is following them. He may end up making contact with the boy, which may end in conflict." The Woman added.

The thin man stroked his beard before speaking,

"Hmm, this does make it a little difficult. Try to send a message as soon as possible and if something does happen, try to avoid further conflict. We'll compensate him later."

"As you wish, my lord." The veiled woman respectfully spoke and turned around.

But just as she was about to leave, the thin man spoke up again.

"Just in case, assign one of our higher corps members to him."

The veiled woman seemed to be surprised, but it could not be seen from because of her veil.

"Are you sure my lord? All three of our higher corps members are currently assigned to long-term missions. If we recall any one of them, then all of their progress may go to waste." The veiled woman asked with an unnerved voice.
