After leaving Ocean Group, Irving's first destination was the headquarters of the Green Ivy Company.
The purpose of his visit was to remind Jas that a rather difficult situation was likely to arise in the near future.
When he arrived at his destination, he found Jas and his subordinates gathered in a conference room discussing Jas's latest discovery.
Yesterday, Jas had stumbled upon a peculiar box within the area under his control. The box was adorned with intricate symbols that seed to possess so mysterious power.
Jas did not imdiately share this news with Irving because he felt it was best to first make so judgnts on his own.
"What are your thoughts? Feel free to speak up now. I believe the sudden appearance of this box in our territory must have a special reason behind it," Jas said with a stoic expression to his subordinates.
The subordinates stared at the unusual box, montarily at a loss for words. They did not possess the sa level of strength as Jas, which left them unable to discern the peculiarities of the symbols engraved on the box.
Most of them believed it was just an ordinary box. So ordinary, in fact, that if it were placed in a store, it would be considered a cheap product.
"Boss, I think this box is just a very ordinary one. I don't see anything special about it," one of Jas's loyal subordinates said hesitantly after a closer inspection.
Jas's face remained expressionless. He simply replied, "Then you should continue examining it! This box is certainly not ordinary! Especially the symbols on it; I have this nagging feeling that I've seen these symbols sowhere before."
Since Jas had said that, his subordinates naturally continued their scrutiny. However, no matter how long they looked, they couldn't uncover anything remarkable about the box.
Jas himself began to feel a bit irritated. "Should I tell Irving about this? Is this news really that important?"
Jas found himself wavering. Although he had been collaborating with Irving for a long ti, he felt the need to demonstrate his strength in front of him.
In Jas's view, if he appeared weak before Irving, Irving would surely not take their partnership seriously.
If Jas hastily presented this box to Irving, there was a good chance Irving would mock him.
After a mont of restless contemplation, Jas ultimately decided to take a closer look at the box. If he still couldn't find any useful information, he would inform Irving about it.
As Jas approached the box again, he suddenly noticed that the symbols etched on it had changed in so way. After staring at the symbols for a while, Jas realized that this particular symbol was one he had seen before in Elder Seville's treasury.
This revelation ant that the box in front of him had been deliberately left by the Night Blades.
As soon as this new discovery struck him, he exclaid loudly to his subordinates, "Quick! Step back! This box was sent by the Night Blades! There may be traps inside!"
His words plunged his subordinates into chaos. They scrambled to retreat, but the conference room was small, causing them to jostle against one another in a flurry.
Although Jas instinctively took a couple of steps back, he wasn't overly fearful. In his view, since he hadn't opened the box, even if it contained a trap designed by the Night Blades, he wouldn't be imdiately hard.
After carefully watching the box for a while, he confird that it wouldn't suddenly transform. Only then did he approach it once more.
At that mont, Irving abruptly kicked open the door to the conference room.
Irving's sudden appearance drew everyone's attention. When Jas looked at Irving, he found that Irving had already approached him.
"Where did you find this box?" Irving asked coldly.
Jas sensed that sothing was off with Irving's deanor. However, he couldn't grasp why Irving was acting this way, so he instinctively replied, "I stumbled upon this box in my territory this morning. I thought it was strange, so I brought it back. I found symbols related to the Night Blades on it. I was planning to observe it a bit longer before informing you. I really didn't expect you to show up here suddenly. Is there sothing important you need, or did you co here specifically for this box?"
After listening to Jas's words, Irving's tense emotions finally began to ease a bit.
As Irving approached the headquarters of the Green Ivy Company, he sensed the powers of chaos. He quickly pinpointed the source of this chaotic energy: the box that Jas had found.
The box Jas discovered bore a striking resemblance to the one obtained by the Angel Guild. Both boxes were tainted by the powers of chaos, but the box Jas found was sowhat more complete than the one the Angel Guild had acquired.
"I ca here to discuss the crisis we might face soon," Irving said. "The Night Blades are undoubtedly plotting against us. The box you have is connected to their sche. Stop observing it and hand it over to to deal with."
Irving chose not to disclose the information about the chaotic powers to Jas. He believed that news related to the chaotic powers posed a threat to others. Irving felt it was best for him and the Angel Guild to handle everything concerning the powers of chaos.
Jas nodded and then handed the box over to Irving.
Irving imdiately sealed the box away.
"You can have your subordinates leave now. Their presence here prevents us from discussing highly confidential matters," Irving said, his tone slightly impatient.
Jas nodded and subsequently ushered all his subordinates out of the room.
Once everyone had left, only Jas and Irving remained in the conference room. They could finally discuss how to respond to the threat posed by the Night Blades.
"It's clear that the Night Blades have sent several powerful mbers into the real world, and they are likely preparing to launch an attack on us soon," Irving stated. "I need to confirm whether the power you currently wield can ensure your safety. If your strength isn't sufficient, I'll find a way to provide you with support."
Irving's tone was much gentler than it had been before. After confirming that Jas had not betrayed him, he was more than willing to offer assistance.
Jas didn't imdiately respond. He was uncertain about the extent of the threat the Night Blades might pose with their upcoming actions.
"Can you tell what actions the Night Blades are likely to take?" Jas asked. "If I don't know what they're planning, I won't be able to prepare for anything."
"The Night Blades intend to acquire certain artifacts with special powers from the real world. The Angel Guild and I are in a competition with them for these artifacts, so the Night Blades will surely concentrate all their efforts on attacking us. As my ally, you are also within their target range. I believe they will deploy at least one elder to attack you. Do you think you can withstand an elder from the Night Blades?"
Irving believed that while the Night Blades intended to launch an attack on him, their main forces would likely remain in the Shelter Ga world. This ant that they could send a maximum of four elders into the real world. Thus, Jas would only need to face one elder from the Night Blades at most.
After a mont of calm reflection, Jas confidently replied, "If it's just one elder from the Night Blades attacking , I can handle it. Although my strength isn't on par with that of a Night Blades elder, the Green Ivy Company has so tricks up our sleeve. I can use the weapons and items we have to fend off their attacks. Don't worry; I won't hold you back."
Upon hearing Jas's response, Irving nodded slightly. "It's good to hear you're confident, but I'll still leave you with an item." As he spoke, he handed Jas a crystal that emitted a red glow.
Curious, Jas asked, "What is this? Why have I never seen this item before?"
"You haven't seen it because I just created it not long ago! The crystal is actually a spatial seal, and the red glow emanating from it contains a Lava Giant puppet. When you find yourself in danger, just smash the crystal. The Lava Giant sealed inside will be released, and you'll be able to control it for ten minutes. After those ten minutes are up, the Lava Giant will perish, as it is rely a puppet."
Irving explained how to use the item he had given to Jas.
With a smile, Jas said, "Got it! I'll make sure to use this item well!"
Irving nodded and prepared to leave. "I need to go to other places, so I won't keep you any longer. Stay alert in the coming days! The Night Blades could attack us at any ti!"
"I will definitely stay vigilant! If I co across any information related to the Night Blades, I'll inform you right away," Jas replied, determination in his eyes.
Irving was very satisfied with Jas's response; he believed that Jas was adequately prepared for defense. Therefore, he decided not to waste any more ti there.
With that, Irving quickly left the headquarters of the Green Ivy Company and headed toward the Angel Guild headquarters. In Irving's view, the most likely location to encounter an attack from the Night Blades would be the Angel Guild headquarters. Thus, he needed to focus the majority of his efforts there.
