The Black Lotus Guild had a unique way of tracking their members—through their bloodline connection.
No matter where a guild member was, as long as they were part of the Black Lotus Guild, they could be sensed by others who shared the same bloodline.
It was how they monitored missions, how they ensured loyalty, how they always knew who was where.
And right now, Max was caught in that very net.
Max needed to leave—even if just for a short while.
But he knew Klaus.
He knew how the Black Lotus Guild operated.
And he knew that if he so much as stepped out of his room, they would immediately sense that he was gone.
It wasn't just about physical presence.
It was about his bloodline signature.
And that was the problem.
Because Max wasn't just planning on sneaking around—
He was about to vanish entirely from their awareness.
And that was impossible—unless he had a way to deceive the very bloodline that connected them all.
His bloodline.
