“Grandpa, are you okay?” Noya asked worriedly as he looked at rante, who was sitting by the bed.
rante held the small bottle of his wine in his hand, tilted his head back, and finished the last drop of wine inside. He licked his lips, and then smacked Noya on the head. “Scoundrel! You’ve completely wasted such a good wine.”
“???” Noya was confused. His grandpa almost died, but the first thing he actually cared about was the wine?
“Where is this wine from? How dare you rascal hide such good wine from .” rante questioned Noya.
Seeing that rante appeared lively and full of strength, Noya finally was assured. He smilingly said, “Boss Mag gave it to . It’s just this small bottle.”
“It’s really just this small bottle?” rante was still in disbelief. He reached over, and searched Noya.
“I really don’t have a single drop of alcohol on . But Boss Mag just sent breakfast for us. Have so,” Noya said.
With the help of the bed’s fra, rante stood up. He stretched a little, and lifted his shirt up to check his wound. The flesh had grown over the scary-looking wound, leaving only a faint red scar.
“That b*tch is really ruthless. She almost sent to see my maker with the Holy Light. But she is formidable. She healed so of my underlying problems from back then, and could even cure such a serious wound,” rante lanted.
“Who is she? She’s really powerful.” Noya saw Irina cast the spell yesterday, and in a drunken state on top of that. This made him utterly shocked.
“The Holy Light, combined with powerful healing magic. A 10th-tier powerhouse as young as her, I guess it would only be the elven princess,” rante said with a smile.
“Princess Irina?” Noya was so shocked that he raised his voice. After that, he said in bewildernt, “But she’s not an elf. She’s a human.”
“Do you think we look like humans?” rante smiled.
“You an she was in disguise?” Noah thought for a while. After that, he had an epiphany, and said, “That’s true. Boss Mag is Master Alex, so his wife must be Princess Irina.
“But Grandpa, we were tracking the evil aura yesterday. Why did we end up getting ambushed by humans? Could those humans have already been in cahoots with the devil?”
“Maybe not. He must have known that there were troops waiting there, so he used the evil aura to lure us there on purpose so that others would do the dirty work.” rante shook his head. He had a grave expression as he said, “It seems like we were found out. We have to be even more cautious moving forward.”
“So does he know where we are?” Noya was nervous.
“No. He only knows that we will definitely find him. That’s enough.” rante shook his head. Smiling, he said, “Otherwise, we would have been dead last night.”
“What a sly and scary fellow.” Noya clenched his fists.

Golden Dragon Island.
Louis was standing by the road as he told Douglas seriously, “The warning letter was sent to Rodu. Currently, Andre has not given any reply yet. However, if this was as Alex said, and was the Great Old Ones’ plan, what should we do?”
Douglas said, “Andre is not a rash and stupid person. He had endured for decades, so he would not be in a rush for a mont, nor would he put himself in danger. I am more inclined to Alex’s conjecture. I’m afraid the devil is already in control of Josh, and is currently wreaking havoc everywhere, trying to incite a new racial war.”
“In that case, what should we do? Now the orcs are still very angry, and the other races have all closed off their roads in preparation for war.” Louis frowned.
“Perhaps we should take a trip to Rodu.”
“Go straight to negotiate with Andre?”
“No, to find Josh and the devil. Andre would never admit that the devil has already controlled Josh. This would only make him lose the support from his people. Therefore, we have to find Josh or force Andre to admit to this, and from then on, we co to a consensus,” Douglas said seriously.
“That works. If I am not wrong, Alex and Irina should already be in Rodu. They are the people who know the devil the best. Perhaps we could find the tracks of the devil even faster through them.” Louis nodded, and said, “Oh, right. I think Elizabeth has left Chaos City.”
“I think you Golden Dragons should not have any hopes for her. Elizabeth is a Frost Dragon.” Douglas glared at Louis.
“We’ll have to see if you really see her as one of yours. You guys have made no improvent in that aspect at all after so many years.” Louis pressed his lips together. He did not care about Douglas’s threat.

Chaos City, the Buffett Manor.
“Grandfather, the borders of the Roth Empire have been closed. Now, only the mbers of the Peace Alliance have the necessary travel routes open, but there are restrictions for traders to enter and exit. I’m afraid a big change is going to happen this ti,” Scheer, who was standing by a frozen lake with a warr in her arms, told Ian Buffett, who was using a thin bamboo rod to crack open the surface of the lake.
Ian remained silent for a long ti. He put down the bamboo rod in his hand, and turned slowly to look at Scheer. A smile appeared on his aged face. “Wasn’t this what we predicted a few years ago? It is just happening.”
“But…” Scheer frowned. This was what the Buffett Family had gotten ready for years ago. It was not even the worst outco. After all, the war had yet to break out completely. There were many races that had ford the Peace Alliance.
Of course, the races were all in a tense state before the impending war. This had caused a significant impact and threat to the core supporting asset of the Buffett Family, the Buffett Bank.
The Buffett Bank had gained significant benefits and influence by creating convenience and providing funds for the races in terms of trade.
Now that trade had stopped, and the situation was chaotic, people from different regions were swarming to the bank to withdraw their money as it would feel safer for the money to be in their pockets.
Of course, before the peace eting, the Buffett Bank had already been prepared for it to ensure that the cash flow of the banks everywhere was sufficient so that there was no frenzy or other problems.
“We have done what we should. The situation now is not what we can control. We have to see what cos out of the fight among the races. At least the situation and outlook currently are not the worst,” Ian said with a smile.
“Mm-hmm.” Scheer nodded. She agreed with Ian’s judgnt on that.
“Let’s go to the study. I want to write a letter to the goblin chief. Even if people can’t travel, we must ensure that the goods can pass through smoothly via the railroad.. A ti like this shows that a crisis is also an opportunity,” Ian said with a smile as he stood up.
