“Grandpa, Grandpa! The entire world is plotting to kill Master Ramsey!” Catherine rushed in, her voice frantic.

“Grandpa, I’ve just gotten word–several super martial art masters from the World of Darkness are heading to Snow Valley to trap and kill Master Ramsey!

“Some of these are the top warriors who were ranked on the Dark List 20 years ago.

“And there’s more. Our intelligence has intercepted a highly confidential message: key leaders from some regions are allowing their clite forces, disguised as regular civilians, to infiltrate the assassination group targeting Master Ramsey!

“These scoundrels–how could they be so shameless?!

“Grandpa, please give me a command. I’ll gather people and head to Snow Valley right away to assist Master Ramsey!

“Draconia is powerful, with a strong military force. We can’t allow the world to mistreat Master Ramsey like this!”

Nigel gazed at his granddaughter with a blend of anger and concern, motioning for her to come closer.

“Catherine, come sit by me.”

Catherine sat beside him, her anger gradually dissipating. “Grandpa, you look much better today!”

“I’m a tough old man, still hanging on! I want to see you succeed in serving this country and its people, creating a legacy that will last!” Nigel said with a slight cough as he reached out his frail hand to gently pat her head.

This was the same trembling hand that had once commanded thousands of soldiers, holding swords and spears for the peace of the land.

Now, the land was peaceful, but time had dulled the sharpness of that hand.

“Grandpa, why do those so–called powerful people, the ones in the open, do such despicable things?” Catherine still couldn’t hide her frustration.

Nigel gave a cold smile. “Catherine, listen carefully. In this world, there’s no clear line between black and white, right and wrong. What there is, is the ever–changing tide of interests.

“Those who appear in the open aren’t always the righteous figures they seem to be. The real villains and demons hide in the shadows, operating in the gray areas.

“In fact, this world often works the opposite of how you’d expect.

“So, always remember this–never rush to judge based on appearances.

“And don’t oppose the established powers just for the sake of it.

“The nath of great deeds is like this. The way something is done matters
