Warlock Ch 453. Let Them Come
Damian's eyes narrowed.
"They're here."
"Now?" Evelyn said, raising a brow.
"They're waiting to see how the verdict falls," he said. "If it goes against them, they vanish. If it doesn't…"
"They'll strike."
"They'll try."
He let his hand fall back to his side, cloak shifting with the motion. No grand gesture. No fire. No declaration.
Just the slow, methodical shifting of his presence—like a quiet blade slipping from its sheath.
"Let them wait," Damian murmured. "Let them think they're still in control."
Cassius crossed his arms. "You gonna track them?"
"No," Damian said.
"I'm going to let them reveal themselves."
He turned, eyes locked on the staircase that led to the upper archive floors.
"They'll go after the evidence first. Evelyn's runes. The confession files. Any trail that leads to them."
Evelyn nodded slowly. "I've already got copies hidden across four different planes. But if they're that stupid…"
"Let them be," Damian said.
