James made a serious face as he organized all the information. The whole ordeal may change the status quo of the Greater Realms.
If Youri was the one behind this entire plot and James exposed him, then the other major races would persecute Youri. This may cause Youri to leave the Dooms and become public enemy number one in the Greater Realms.
However, Youri currently represents the Dooms. If James held his tongue, then the whole Doom Race would become the target of the Greater Realm enmity. Despite that, Youri would still have a lot of influence within the Doom Race, which would make it hard for James to exert his authority. If he fails to gain control of the Dooms, he would be unable to help the Human Race.
He needed the Greater Realms to be thrown into disarray and also the right to speak to the Dooms. If possible, James wanted to sway the other races as well. James looked at everyone around him. Those present were from major races within the Greater Realms and were all future pillars of their respective communities.
After weighing the pros and cons, James came to a decision. Everyone looked at James expectantly, waiting for his reply.
James took a deep breath, pretending to be distraught by the situation. Then, he said, “I definitely have my suspicions. However, my words might cause an internal conflict among the Dooms if I say anything now. On the other hand, if I keep my opinions to myself, I’ll be putting everyone’s lives at risk. I might also be seen as a villain by the other races of the Greater Realms.”
Aidan looked at James, who was disguised as Wyot. “Stop beating around the bush and cut to the chase.”
James nodded as he spoke, “The conference was organized by the Doom Race. Thus, they had complete control over the choice of the conference’s venue. If this is a scheme to kill everyone present, there are only three possible culprits.
“The first is my race’s Grand Patriarch. However, he has been in seclusion for many years and doesn’t interfere with our affairs.
“The second is my father, but he has no reason to kill anyone here. It’s also unlikely he would ever try to harm me.
“The last possibility is our race’s Great Elder, Youri. After thoroughly assessing the facts, he has the highest possibility of masterminding this whole plot.
