Theus and Zoe were dumbfounded. After a moment, Theus suddenly turned to look at Zoe.
Zoe was completely stunned. "N-no way, right? Could it be..."

"He's right beside me. I've already told him. He'll be there shortly!"

"Understood, my lord. I'll begin the investigation at once!"
"Besides the abnormalities affecting the two of them, the island itself needs to be searched as well.
