Miles Sherman and Nathan Lockwood stepped aside to talk.
Aaron Xavier, on the other hand, stood to the side, watching Zoe Pierce with a deep frown.
Only Chase Shaw noticed the large tree that had been attacked with spiritual power. The scratches were fresh, and there were shattered rocks from an explosion on the ground, with only a few scattered, fingernail-sized fragments lying about.
He reached out to touch the scratch, then crouched down and sifted through the gravel.
The residual spiritual power was almost nonexistent; even with careful inspection, it was impossible to tell who had left the marks.
Chase Shaw pulled his hand back, his gaze falling upon Zoe Pierce.
Nathan Lockwood's spiritual power attacks could do this, but Chase Shaw didn't think it was him.
As he walked back from the tree, he heard Zoe Pierce ask, "You're back so soon? Did you manage to eliminate any teams?"
Aaron Xavier's brow was still furrowed. "Of course we did."
