’Sorry, brat, but the system did not detect anything odd with any of these people, even that Norkuo guy. According to his data, he is just an old man with one foot in the grave.’
When Cain heard that, the coldness in his eyes only grew stronger. The fact that the system did not detect anything wrong only told him that the problem was even greater than expected.
If there was one thing Cain would never question, it would be his instincts, as they had saved his life countless times already. Whatever was happening, it managed to hide from even a force field with the detection power of a Titan.
Cain was not the only one who reacted with coldness to the arrival of the Kraken Clan; Zamuel and the rest of the people from the Solis Clan did the same. Many of those present knew those who perished during the incident inside the Natural Inheritance, and they blamed the Kraken Clan for the death of their friends.
Lore and those from the Zanginis Clan did not say a word but remained vigilant, ready to act if anything were to happen. If a battle were to start, they would not simply stand by and would support Cain and the Solis Clan.
As for Amara and the women of the Artik Clan, they also adopted a solemn aura, but they were clearly not biased to any side. The relationship with the Kraken Clan might not be good, but neither was so bad that they would attack them.
The one who took the foremost position in the Kraken Clan was a man with red hair and blue eyes, covered in a bronze exoskeleton that radiated immense pressure. His silver armor blended with his racial armament, making him seem like a fortress that no one could violate.
At first, the man’s eyes were empty, but soon, they began to glow with a special light as he turned toward Amara.
"It seems that Lady Amara has reached us before. Your destiny is in the uprising, and I am sure the elders of our clans will be happy to chat about our feats in this journey once we get out."
Cain could not help but focus on the man as he heard those words. There was a hidden meaning in them since even if the Solis Clan and Zanginis Clan managed to kill them all, there would be witnesses, and the elders from the Kraken Clan would figure things out eventually.
Amara was very smart, so she also understood the hidden message in the words of the man from the Kraken Clan. A cold light appeared in her eyes as she understood how the man used her and her sisters as witnesses and a shield against the actions of the people of the Solis Clan and Zanginis Clan.
"Hmph, I don’t remember you being so cunning, Robert."
Amara sneered as she uttered those words before leaving with the rest of the Artik Clan. Of course, even if she left and did not intervene, she would still be a witness to the events that happened here.
After the Artik Clan left, the atmosphere grew even more tense. The Zanginis Clan and Solis Clan clearly had more power than the Kraken Clan, but in a fight to the death, no one knew what could happen, not to mention this was a dangerous realm, and traversing it wounded was not wise.
’Prepare yourself, we will attack. I will take responsibility for any repercussions once we leave the realm.’

Zamuel and Lore’s eyes widened as they heard Cain’s voice in their minds and saw the eyes of the young man growing emotionless. They knew that Cain had certain problems with some people from the Kraken Clan, but they were surprised to see the killing intent in this one’s heart since attacking now would make the entire clan hate him, not just a few people.
The truth was that Cain’s problem with the Kraken Clan was not so significant as to go to this length, nor was the threat that Norkuo generated, but something told him there was a problem with the old man and these people.
Simple instincts would not have been enough to guide him in the past, but as a master of Order, Cain was absolutely resolute with every action that emerged from his heart and soul.
Since Cain felt that there was something wrong with Norkuo, he would use all his power to kill the man here and now and destroy anything and anyone who dared to stand in his path.
Although Zamuel and Lore were surprised, they looked at each other and nodded as they were ready to follow the young man’s command. There was already bad blood, so why play nice and not repay the behavior of the Kraken Clan inside the Natural Inheritance, especially if Cain was ready to take responsibility?

However, just as the duo was about to take their weapons and guide the rest of the warriors from the Zanginis Clan and Solis Clan, Cain’s voice echoed a second time inside their minds.
’Change of plan. We leave now!’
Zamuel and Lore were confused by Cain’s sudden change of mind, but he did not give them time to think as he shared that command with everybody else and guided the group back to the Gray Road.
The people from the Kraken Clan were surprised to see the people of the Zanginis Clan and Solis Clan, who seemed ready to fight one second ago, suddenly ran away. Only once Cain vanished did Norkuo raise his head, and there was a sky-blue light that seemed to radiate soul force!
Cain frowned as he and the rest of the people of the Zanginis Clan and Solis Clan marched away from the Breath of Cosmos chamber. He noticed the look in Zamuel and Lore, but did not say a word until they were far away from the place.
"How is the relationship between the Kraken Clan and the Umbra Clan?"
Zamuel’s confusion only grew as he heard that question, but he still answered it.
"Not particularly good. They had problems in the past but nothing recently. I guess you could call it neutral."
Those words only deepened Cain’s frown, and he sighed before looking at Zamuel and Lore.
"I detected a hidden presence near the tunnel entrance from which the Kraken Clan arrived. I only perceived two people, but I doubt that was all. I am sure there were many more hiding."
When Zamuel and Lore heard those words, they also frowned. Even if their Ego Waves were limited, their perception was not something anyone could easily hide from. Clearly, the only ones who had such skill were the members of the Umbra Clan, adept in the use of darkness, shadows, and assassination techniques.
The fact that they did not detect it, but Cain did was also shocking, but the duo just took it as another of the young man’s unique powers.
Actually, the one that detected the hidden presence was not Cain but the [Pseudo Multidimensional Scan Force Field], as the moment the fight was about to begin, those presences moved forward and got in range.
Although Zamuel and Lore believed in Cain’s words, they couldn’t help but grow confused as it did not make sense that the Umbra Clan would be secretly following the people from the Kraken Clan. If they had wanted to attack Robert and the others, they would have done so before reaching the chamber, but there was even less reason for the Umbra Clan to guard the Kraken Clan.
"Whatever their relationship might be, it is best to stay away."
Although the combined power of the Solis Clan and the Zanginis Clan did not fall inferior to that of the Kraken Clan and Umbra Clan, especially if Cain were to use the power of his dual cultivation, he felt there was something wrong and dangerous surrounding Norkuo.
As for requesting the help of other clans, that was not an option since there was no way someone would help them kill twenty members of two of the Ten Great Bloodlines just because he felt something was wrong.
"Ahhh."
Cain couldn’t help but sigh as he could not figure out the mystery behind the dangerous aura of the Kraken Clan, and the fact he was too weak to force the truth out of them was annoying. Luckily, the power of Order soon emerged from his willpower and helped his mind regain clarity and focus.
’The best path forward is to take advantage of the rest of the chambers and improve my power.’
Danger could appear anywhere, and there was no way to predict what type of enemy you could face, but your power would never fail you.
With that thought in mind, Cain and the other warriors from the Solis Clan and Zanginis Clan returned to the main path and began moving forward, looking for another route that led them to a chamber.
