Chapter 574: When the Shadow Breathes Again
Madam Tyler looked up from the table the moment she saw Orion and the others approach.
Her brows lifted in clear surprise.
"Well," she said slowly, straightening slightly. "This is quite unexpected."
Her gaze settled on Orion.
"I must say, Orion," she continued, a hint of dry amusement slipping into her tone, "I did not expect to see you twice in one day."
Orion smiled faintly.
"Me too. But there's something we need to confirm," he said simply.
That was enough to wipe the amusement from her face.
She studied him for a second longer, then nodded once.
"Then I assume it's important."
"It is."
Eldric, who had been hunched over the table with parchments scattered in careful disorder, adjusted his glasses and glanced up.
His eyes flicked briefly toward Sophia, then to Ronan and Annabeth.
Then back to Orion.
Orion didn't waste time.
He moved toward the table.
"Do you still have the translations Sophia made?" he asked.
