The next morning, Nathaniel was inside a lavish mansion. He was in his study, flipping through an ancient manuscript.

One of his most trusted aides hurried in and lowered his voice, “Your Royal Highness, word just came in. Another trace of Dracan essence has been found.”

Nathaniel raised an eyebrow and closed the manuscript. “Where?”

“Our investigation shows it ended up in the hands of Logan Rhys,” the aide replied.

“Logan Rhys?” Nathaniel narrowed his eyes slightly and was surprised by the name.

He had tried to win Logan over before and spared no expense, but never received a response. Later, he discovered that Tristan and Matthias had done the same.

Fortunately, Logan still hadn’t picked a side. He might be holding out for the best offer, but at least he hadn’t shut the door on Nathaniel.

With the Dracan essence in his hands, Logan had become an even more valuable target. In addition to the West Lucozian monarchy, Logan was an ultimate grandmaster, which made him worth recruiting.

If Nathaniel could get him on his side, it would be a game-changer.

“Where is he now?” Nathaniel asked.

“According to our investigation, he’s checked into the Delight Hotel,” the aide replied.

“Go there right away. And make sure you invite him over. I don’t want any rough tactics.”
