"But why did he betray the guild?"
Max couldn't shake the question from his mind. The leader of the Black Lotus Guild—someone who had absolute authority over a hidden, powerful organization—why would he abandon it?
It didn't make sense. There was no logical reason to betray such a force, especially when the consequences were absolute death.
Unless… there was something bigger at play.
Max frowned, his thoughts turning. But after a few moments, he shook his head.
'No point in thinking about something I have no answers for.'
Right now, his priority was the tower.
Turning to Callie, he asked, "How do I climb it?"
Callie's eyes remained steady. "Just touch the tower with your hand," she explained. "Once you do, you'll be pulled inside. After that, your bloodline will decide how far you can go."
Max nodded in understanding. No unnecessary steps. No tricks.
Just a test of pure bloodline authority.
