Spectre Face nodded as he spoke.
After a while, James went to visit Timothy.
Timothy glanced at James before he shifted his gaze and ignored James.
"I'm here today to tell you something," began James as he kept his gaze on Timothy. "It’s best if you cease all thoughts of getting back at Fane. Kingston Clan, Green Sky Hall, the Wilson family, and Eagle Clan were all overthrown in just one night. All their masters and leaders are dead. Those that remain aren't skillful enough, so they ran away from Middle Province last night!" "What?!" Timothy was shocked. "You're saying that both large clans, Kingston Hall and Eagle Clan, together with the Wilson family and Green Sky Hall, have been destroyed?!”
James nodded. "We investigated the matter and discovered that Fane was behind their ultimate downfall. These four powers worked together to kidnap Fane’s daughter. Fane went to Blaze Mountain alone, and the path he walked was littered with corpses. This caused all four powers to disappear from Middle Province!"
"He went alone? Impossible... That’s impossible! How can he be so powerful? He's no God of War!" Timothy shook his head vehemently. All he thought of for the past two days was how he could get back at Fane and end him, once and for all.
If what his father said was true, did that not mean that he would never get his revenge?
Even if he's no God of War, his fighting ability can rival theirs. Such a person is really too scary!" James smiled bitterly and advised, "Timothy, I know that you hate him very much, but you can't do anything about it. I've urged you many times to befriend Fane and not offend him, yet my words fell on deaf ears. Shouldn't you reflect the reason why you’re in this situation now?"
As he noted Timothy remained silent, James continued, "Do you think that I'd purposely give up getting justice for you? I'm not afraid, but I had to weigh everything in life. If we really went on a quest for vengeance, the entire Drake family would be involved. By then, we won't be able to avenge you. That's not getting revenge; that's going on a suicide mission! Apart from that, why did you try t o take advantage of Selena? You would've been dead had you been someone else.
Fane has been benevolent enough to keep you alive!" "I get it, Father!" Timothy eventually conceded and nodded. "Fane is really too strong. Who knew that he’d hide his true powers so well? Now, he's destroyed three clans at one go, and two of those clans are really big ones. Naha! The hidden powers : n Middle Province would act much more cautiously in the future!"
James nodded. "That’s right. We dared not offend Kingston Hall and Eagle Clan before because they had the upper hand, a higher edge than us, but things have now changed. With both clans gone, the other clans can't even compare to first-class aristocratic families. We've no need to fear anything else in the future. We'll be fine as long as we don't offend powerful people like Fane or the Gods of War."
“It's quite late at night... Rest early." Janies sighed inwardly when he saw Timothy withering in front of him and walked downstairs.
He knew his son could not resign to this ending, but what else could they have done? Fane's power was so much more than they initially thought.
