William Cole held Wilson Dawn in his arms, his heart filled with a maelstrom of emotions, as he looked at Ruth Dawn, "Is this the only choice we have?"
"Yes."
Ruth Dawn simply nodded, "That's the Sect Leader's wish. I proposed many terms, but he wouldn't agree to any."
"Even offering to split the Dawn Sect's influence in Gragan into thirds for the Mid-Bostritis Dawn Sect wasn't accepted."
"In a word, he only wants Wilson."
A look of helplessness crossed William's face, "Alright then."
"Yes."
Ruth continued nodding, "The child is still young. You can spend time with him tonight, but in the early morning, I will take him to the Dawn Sect in Mid-Bostritis."
"Alright then."
After pondering for a moment, William agreed as well.
Whether the child stayed by his side or by Ruth's, given the current chaos, neither was very safe.
If the child was handed over to the Dawn Sect in Mid-Bostritis, distancing him temporarily from them might be the best option.
