Clinton gazed at Ethan, who now carried an air of Velen's extravagance, and suddenly felt that if he stayed in the fortress any longer, he would eventually become just like them—reckless and wasteful.
He had known Ethan and Victoria for a long time. They weren't like this before.
But now, after spending time with Velen, they had become indifferent to such blatant extravagance—even finding it justified.
Clinton felt he had to warn them.
But just as he was about to speak, a sudden disturbance in the air sent chills down his spine.
That presence…
Clinton's pupils shrank, and without hesitation, he bolted toward the fortress gates.
"Ethan, Victoria! Don't let Velen corrupt you! And tell him this—I, Clinton, will never return to the fortress again!"
Ethan and Victoria were shocked by Clinton's sudden outburst, but when they heard his last words, their hearts tensed.
What was happening?
Why was Clinton suddenly leaving the fortress?
