Due to Jake Williams' disguise as Anthony Tangen— whom they had speculated to be a witch with the sin of prophesying— Seth couldn't help but associate him with the organization this woman described.
He had no close contact with other witches capable of altering people's fates...
Only Jake Williams fit that description.
Was Jake the fifth teacher she mentioned?
Either way, sweat formed at the back of Seth's neck.
This meant Jake Williams hadn't been fooled...
He knew Seth had survived the warehouse explosion.
'It's fine,' Seth told himself, forcing calm.
'I already expected to be caught again the moment I chose to stay in this city instead of running.'
As for the reason he stayed...
Seth fell silent into deep contemplation as his mind moved to other concerns.
Was his Blessing of "Secrets" from Lady Light weakening?
Or was Jake simply powerful enough to bypass it indirectly?
If he remembered correctly, he still had about a day left before the blessing expired.
