Vlad's eyes immediately narrowed as he heard those words, but instead of asking for clarification in such an open setting, he simply gestured for Spartacus to follow him into his home.
The Space Master offered a small, knowing smile as he observed Vlad's caution, and nodded respectfully. The duo took a single step forward, crossing dozens of kilometers in an instant, materializing inside Vlad's residence without any delay.

Only then did Spartacus continue, responding without hesitation, "The war is not going exactly well."
The opening line from Spartacus caused a deep frown to form on Vlad's face. Yet the Depravita of Wrath remained silent, not jumping to conclusions, patiently listening to the man's words, unwilling to interrupt.
