1783 I'm Not Here

Leonel didn't speak immediately. In truth, he had come here for two reasons. The first was to touch base and make sure that everything was running smoothly, while the second was to give the Umbra family the Bronze and Silver Tablets of the Dark half of their Lineage Factor.

From what Leonel could see,the Umbra family was stuck with their Shadow Tail Lineage Factor much like the Luxnix family had been stuck with the Snowy Star Owl.

But, compared to the original Luxnix family,the Umbra family had far more potential and talent, it was just hard for them to see the road forward.

If they were able to upgrade their Lineage Factors, the help that they could provide to Leonel would be much better. The gap between the Lineage Factors was not small. If not for the perfect synergy between the two halves of the Lineage Factors, Leonel would have already abandoned his construct in favor of the stronger Lineage Factors of the Dark Force half.

But now, Leonel realized that he would need to understand more about the Umbra family before he made this decision. In truth, the reason why he "trusted"

them was obvious. This wasn't because he liked Radlis, or he understood Silam's character, it was rather because he had a firm hold of their greatest weakness.

Someone who feared him and what he could do to them was much more trustworthy in almost all cases.

Judging by the context clues of Seltin's words, however, there was too much he didn't understand the to hold firmly to this conviction. In fact, just the mere fact Seltin was speaking instead of Silam spoke volumes about how little he knew.
