Rumaal finally lifted his head and took a proper look at the young man standing before him.
The moment he saw that familiar face, his expression froze for a brief moment.
Those sharp features, that calm gaze, and the faint smile on his lips finally triggered a memory that had been buried beneath the pressure of the current situation.
Kanis Kinwind.
Rumaal's eyes widened slightly as he finally remembered where they had met before.
It had been at a border city located between the Runiye Dominion and the Swordfall Realm. The city was a natural meeting point for cultivators from both factions, and powerful cultivators from the two regions often gathered there for social events, exchanges, and occasional business dealings.
Rumaal clearly remembered one particular gathering.
