Daniel and the Invincible Oasis never came, or rather, they never found Liam.
After two weeks in hiding, Liam resurfaced and carefully scouted the area, using his superhuman senses and his body's innate cloaking method to their full potential, quickly obtaining reassuring results.
Liam spotted vague tracks. Some were faint scents, while others involved unusual Qi patterns, as if foreign breezes had blown over the forbidden zone, leaving marks that had yet to disperse.
Investigations had clearly happened, but not in an intrusive way. They had likely come from specific magical items and weaker experts who even kept their distance.
The reason was obvious. Daniel couldn't know the details, but killing Andrew was no easy feat. He was more likely to suspect a trap than to believe Liam acted alone, making him wary of exposing himself.
