"Hm…" Dave responded half-heartedly, his attention barely lingering on the injury Zhane had just assessed. He wasn't particularly worried, not when Zhane was more than capable of handling it, and even if not, there was still Doctor Zigheart who could step in.
No, his mind had already moved elsewhere.
To the abduction.
As someone standing at the peak of the political stage, he had no shortage of enemies lurking in the shadows. Any number of them could have orchestrated this, making it nearly impossible to pinpoint a single culprit.
But one thing was certain, and that is, this wasn't random. Whoever had moved against him had ties to the current leader of the Northern Faction.
The question was… why?
Were they not afraid of the consequences? Did they truly believe he wouldn't retaliate, wouldn't erase them entirely once he uncovered the truth? Or worse… were they confident that he couldn't?
And if so... Where did that confidence come from?
Bang! Bang!
