However, their numbers exceed twenty…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mortan’s eyes sparkled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already been informed about the intruders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had heard that a total of fifty had come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty of them would be the largest group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘It seems they will be dealt with faster than expected.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of that size was worth his personal attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rose from his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group of dark mages and the Chinese Awakened began to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have found them.
