“Master Nash? Have you had dinner?”
“Mosley? What do you want?” Nash asked guardedly.
“Don’t be nervous, Master Nash. | know you're panicking, but lettell you the truth as it is. You shouldn't be causing Francis any
trouble unless you have solid evidence.”
“And why is that? You think | can’t overpower him?” Nash asked, exasperated.
“No, of course not. You're a prodigy, Master Nash. I'm sure no one else in Drakonia is a match for you anymore. But think about it.
Your father is the General of the Northern Territory, but none of the generals other than the General of the Southern Territory has
even brought this topic up despite the fact he’s been missing for so long. It doesn’t make any sense, does it?”
Nash frowned, a doubtful look flashing through his eyes.
Then, he asked quietly, “What do you mean? Does my father's disappearance have anything to do with the generals of the Eastern
and Western Territories?”
“It's possible. Besides, I'm sure you've heard that the Northern Territory has been engaging in discreet battles with the Eastern and
Western Territories. Think about it, why would all the other three generals suddenly drop by the Northern Territory without any prior
notice?”
“Well... don’t you think you're being a little conspiratorial?” Nash was starting to develop theories, but he was still somewhat in
disbelief.
“| have a way of proving whether I'm spouting a conspiracy theory or not,” Mosley said in a low voice, his tone suddenly bing
much more solemn.
“What is it?”
“I'm sure the people who kidnapped your father have not done anything to him yet. I'm sure they don’t want to throw in the towel
on their relationship with you yet, but rather, they want to use your father as a way of restricting the moves you make.
"There could only be one reason for why they're doing that, and that’s to gain control over the Northern Territory. You're the biggest

“Vanish?” Nash asked, starting to be doubtful of Mosley. “I understand your concerns, but if | do end up leaving the Northern
Territory or Drakonia right now, things will end up the way you said. | don’t want to place my bets on such situations.”
Indeed. If he left the Northern Territory, the people lying low in the dark for now would immediately take action. Nash knew that if
things did end up progressing the way they predicted, he would not be able to regain control of the situation. No matter what, this
would end up being a lose-lose situation.
“Please don’t think I'm manipulating you, Master Nash. It's the only method we have left now. The longer things drag on, the worse
things will be for you. The generals of the Eastern and Western Territories have already begun making their moves.
"If you do end up needing to face them in conflict, will you battle them without giving any heed to the safety of your father and the
rest of your family?”
Nash said calmly but determinedly, “I'll protect them.”
“Master Nash, what level of cultivation have you achieved now?”
“I've reached peak Divine Sojourn Realm and am just about to break into the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.”
“Not bad. It’s only been a while, and you've already improved so much. I'll share one more thing with you. Have you heard of the
Fiends?”
“What?” Nash asked, surprised.

Nash's eyes widened when he heard the words "Tribulation Transcendence Realm’.
“Tribulation Transcendence Realm? How's that possible?!”
“l know you don’t believe it. | didn’t believe it either, so | went to take a look for myself, and it's true. That's where their abilities
are now.
"Apparently, that guy has been in seclusion for the past several hundred years, and he seems to have a special sort of ability that

Mosley chuckled coolly.
“Don't you know that there are sproblems that can’t be solved just by being the more powerful one? Do you think this is a
game?”
Mosley then added, “I'll tell you why. It's because they're seeking approval.”
“Approval?”

"Thus, what they need is approval from a higher-up. | believe the cultivator who has achieved the Tribulation Transcendence Realm
will be their last resort.”
“If that’s the case, why have you bothered to say so much to me?” Nash asked impatiently.
