Castelan District.
Dafordil Street.
Outside Kailen Darkhaven's residence.
Julian had been hiding here for a while.
Kailen had texted him a couple of minutes earlier that he was anticipating an assassination attack on his life. He requested Julian's help to use his darkness principle to obscure himself in plain sight, hide here, and lay in wait for their arrival.
Then, eliminate them.
At most, according to Kailen, he anticipated that the syndicate would send large numbers of Rank 3 novice-stage transcendents after him. They could not risk it by sending Rank 4 novice-stage transcendents after a Rank 3 novice-stage "ant" like him that had to be eliminated.
To them, the fact that they would send large numbers of Rank 3 novice-stage transcendents after Kailen meant they didn't look down on him.
Julian had been here for a while, waiting for the arrival of these assassins. But they were not showing up.
