The Head Butler bowed respectfully before speaking:
"My Lord, I'm ashamed to say this as your most loyal servant, but I fail to comprehend how Young Master Knox—a young boy who just started to cultivate—will be able to make a dent in the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. A more likely scenario—if I may be so frank—would be his extremely unfortunate demise at the hands of those scheming snakes."
Count Falazar's serious facade cracked for the briefest of moments, a detail the Head Butler did not fail to notice.
"It might appear that way from the perspective of most anyone," Count Falazar responded. "But I know my son. I know what heights he's meant to reach for. I know that one day he'll come to shock not only the Elemental Nations and the Azura Empire but the entire world. It's fated to be so."
His voice overflowed with well-concealed pride as he continued, "The rise of the one who'll be unrivaled in Heaven and Earth. The Prophet has foretold it to be so."
