'Would it be better if I was dead?'
'What are you talking about?! Stop--'
'Think about it, Vloz.' Oli elaborated, 'Some powerful people learned that Dad was alive and that resulted in a king cultivator coming to claim me as their subordinate, putting the entire territory in danger. Wouldn't it be best if I was dead, according to record?'
'Oh… I see,' sighed Vloz, glad to have misinterpreted Oli.
Continuing, Oli mentioned, 'If I'm presumed dead, then that means the territory won't be targeted by such powerful people. I doubt they would attack for Mom's sake since they didn't bother trying anything with her last time. With me dead, the territory will be able to progress as it should.'
'That may be true but what are we to do with you then? Ania is heartbroken from your kidnapping and there are plenty of people anxiously waiting for my return with you in tow,' stated Vloz.
