Unexpectedly, Tercon had been lurking in Lorde for 20 years.
Then, death ca.
The care of the Master.
The death of an old rival.
The entrustnt of friend ‘Dan’.
All these together were enough to make Gren An curious about Jason.
However, he did not go to see Jason.
Not that he didn’t want to.
But he couldn’t.
The current Tert seed calm, but in reality, it was fraught with danger.
His disappearance from everyone’s view could still bring a touch of safety to the ‘Night Watcher’s Ho’.
If he appeared?
Conspiracy, plotting, and traps would follow.
So, he entrusted Morton.
Just like the Master once entrusted him.
Morton was truly a good Assistant.
As now, without Gren An needing to say much, Morton completely understood what his nominal boss and, in reality, partner both ntor and friend wanted to inquire about.
"Very good.”
"Very strong in ability.”
"And extrely sensitive in perception.”
Morton said, pausing for a mont before further elaborating.
"Prudent in character, and not easily influenced by external factors.”
"Also has his own principles.”
"Sincere in treating friends.”
"A qualified ‘Night Watcher’.”
At this point, the old bartender smiled.
He was truly very satisfied with Jason.
Gren An followed with a nod and smile.
The boss of the ‘Night Watcher’s Ho’ was just worried that Jason would be influenced by the sudden surge in power.
Now it seems there’s no need to worry.
“‘Dan’ really has taken on a good student.”
Gren An said.
"Yes!”
“‘Dan’ is quite fortunate, if Jason continues to grow, he will definitely beco a leader of the younger generation—at least Sid and Elpa truly respect him.” 𝙧АΝO͍₿ĚS̈
"During that recent lee, though the atmosphere was mostly jovial, Jason’s prowess was fully revealed.”
"Moreover, he showed great restraint.”
The old bartender praised Jason again.
"You highly regard this junior?”
Gren An looked at the old friend with slight surprise.
He knew Morton.
Rarely did he praise anyone so much, even for those he favored like Sid and Elpa, it was mostly ‘encouragent’.
"Yes.”
"Gren, you should really et this junior.”
"That kind of feeling… how to say it…”
"It’s like soone who’s ‘alive’ after experiencing hundreds of deadly battles, kind of like those ‘Masters’ I’ve seen before — they’ve been through life, death, and worldly matters, yet still love life.” .
"You haven’t seen him eat, truly with delight, making others appetite grow just by watching.”
Morton expressed his feelings.
"Is that so?”
Gren An beca interested, instinctively wanting to et Jason.
But in the end, he still shook his head.
"I’ll leave Jason to you.”
"Try to fulfill any of his requests.”
Gren An said.
"Alright.”
Morton nodded, then hesitated for a mont and asked, “Is the situation in Tert really this critical?”
Gren An sighed and said—
"On the brink.”
The friend’s response left Morton worried.
However, upon returning to the ‘Night Watcher’s Ho’, he remained vigilant.
Of course, upon seeing Ailin’s four sisters, Sid, Elpa, and others, he imdiately beca jovial.
He just kept the friend’s words buried deep in his heart.
Just, what Morton didn’t expect was, the crisis erupted faster than imagined.
At dawn—
Boom!
A massive explosion was heard from the direction of the Imperial Palace.
Imdiately, shouts arose.
"This is bad!”
"His Majesty has been assassinated!”
