"Now that I think about it, where is he? Arenāt you staying with him, Captain?"
Evelyn shook her head calmly. "No. I have stopped coming since two weeks ago. Heās already good enough to stay there."
"Really? How strong has he become? Has he reached the arcane level? No way. He is still that young. Itās only been a year since he became a summoner. No matter how talented he is, thereās no way he can reach that level so quickly.
"Even our youngest, Sonia, hasnāt reached the arcane level even though she is 20 years old right now, and sheās considered a genius. Meanwhile, Nathan is just 17 years old." Revon pointed at Sonia.
"I donāt know his current strength, but the last time I was with him, he had gotten extremely strong. Maybe, similar to Sonia in terms of ena? Well, he has learned a few things, so he might be stronger than Sonia right now."
"Really?" Sonia was dumbfounded. A few months ago, she still remembered Nathan couldnāt do anything when her dagger was in his throat.
Without her realizing it, Nathan had actually become stronger than her.
Evelyn shrugged. "Well, if you are focusing on getting more and more ena every single day, itās bound to happen. However, itās also thanks to his familiars, who are extremely strong on their own.
"Either way, he will be back soon. Iāll just give him a message regarding this attack."
"So, what will we do now? Just wait?" Revon tilted his head. "I just want to crush their heads."
"Of course not." Evelyn turned to Bella.
Bella had a smug smile. "Donāt worry. I have made a plan this time. Of course, we need to wait before attacking them, but we wonāt just be idle.
"Sonia. You should go to those girls on Nathanās side and tell them about this information. Hmm, maybe just tell Selena about it. She is their leader anyway."
"Huh? Why should I?" Sonia was bewildered. They were outsiders, so it would be wise not to tell them about it even if they were with Nathan.
"Weāve made a deal with Nathan. You should be aware that the Divine Hand is not everything. To find the place where those people come from, we need him. In exchange, weāve agreed to let these girls get involved with the Divine Hand. Itās just the Divine Hand, not the people behind them."
Sonia was still unconvinced, but she ultimately nodded her head. "Fine."
"After you inform them, go back to your usual post and observe their movement. Considering the location of their attack, itās clear that theyāre using their agents to observe the impacts. Once they understand how it will impact the world, they will launch a bigger attack."
"Understood." Sonia nodded.
Once Sonia left, Revon said, "You guys are so good to Nathan. Is he that important?"
"The information he has is very important. Once we take down the Divine Hand, I will explain everything in detail." Evelyn assured Revon personally.
Revon sighed. "If you say so. I guess weāll be relying on him. I just donāt want this group to be too reliant."
"I understand that, but this groupās purpose remains the same. Itās to kill those who caused the bloody banquet. After that, the Sleeping Garden is no more." Evelyn shrugged.
Bella agreed. "Either way, your mission is pretty simple this time, Revon. Do you know the reason we agreed to get those girls involved?"
"Hmm?" Revon pondered for a moment before shaking his head.
"The reason is simple. Itās because of their connection. I doubt people like the Dragon King will get involved, but the Holy Kingdom and the Frexia Academy once worked together to fight against this Divine Hand.
"Sage Leyfon or the Pope wouldnāt get involved directly, according to Nathan, but it would be different with the royal family.
"They have produced the medicine that could dissolve the aliens inside oneās body before they blossom. Alerting them is the same as alerting the royal family, and because the current attack happened in the Liaystian Kingdom, only that kind of family can get involved in another kingdomās affair.
"Weāll reduce the casualties that way and swiftly defeat them. Besides, a small organization like us wonāt be able to stop everything going on all around the world, so let them deal with those threats while we directly handle the Divine Hand."
"..." Revon finally nodded. "Make sense. So, what am I supposed to do?"
"Your mission is pretty simple right now. With these elites getting involved, I want you to monitor the situation and see if anyone near the alien border receives the impact from this incident.
"Because theyāre fusing a human and an alien, I donāt know how the alien will react, so if you stop them, we can get some stability and ensure nothing goes wrong."
"Sounds easy enough. My specialty is my fist either way. You better pick me up when weāre going to kill those bastards."
"Of course."
Revon then stood up and casually waved his hand as he walked toward the teleportation circle.
Bella turned to Evelyn. "The situation is getting serious, isnāt it?"
"Yeah. I asked Nathan about it last time. He seems to be using the people from the royal family as bait. Right now, it looks like alerting those girls will allow them to come to the Liaystian Kingdom.
"They will provide the information to the royal family. Once more and more cases appear, they will get involved directly and fight them.
"If those girls get targeted, they will deal with them. From the looks of it, Nathan doesnāt want to just rely on these two outside agents. Heās planning to lure out more people from the organization."
Bella squinted her eyes. "It sounds like Nathan doesnāt trust their information, so he wants to lower their guard and secure or compare their information."
"Essentially. Give the mouse the milk, and they will come for the cheese."
"Well..." Bella nodded in understanding. "If thatās the case, you should get ready, Evelyn. I will tell Neyeid to march toward that city to get him involved as a āmerchant.ā He might become the bait to lure them out as well.
"I will ask Christopher to accompany him."
"Sounds good enough. In that case, I will send the message to Nathan." Evelyn stood up, searching for an empty piece of paper.
