Ethan didn't call it out.
He pulled a blue crystal from his person and rubbed his thumb lightly over its surface. Blue light flowed inside, but it didn't release right away.
Then he turned to the old man.
"Sir, if I'm not mistaken… the one you're really worried about is Korvath inside that city."
The smile on the old man's face froze for a beat.
He stared at Ethan. The blood-red gem in his forehead flickered once.
"You know him?"
Ethan nodded, his tone flat.
"When I first came to this world, I heard his name. Supposedly a fierce general."
His gaze went back to the distant city.
"But what he can really do… that still needs to be tested."
The old man's excitement nearly spilled out of his eyes.
"So you can kill him?"
Ethan didn't answer.
He only tightened his grip around the blue crystal, fingers closing—
Crack.
The crystal shattered in his palm.
