"Son, you're still too young," Leslie replied.
Franko frowned vehemently and could not understand his father. "Too young? What do you mean by that?"
Leslie looked around and instructed the others, "Guard the door. I want to talk privately with Franko."
"Yes, sir!"
The others were curious about what Leslie wanted to tell Franko but knew they were not in the place to hear it.
"Dad, they're gone now. What do you want to tell me?"
Franko smiled bitterly. Based on how cautious his father was, he knew his father would tell him a secret. Otherwise, he would not have asked the others to leave them alone.
Leslie nodded. "You have to promise me that you can't tell anyone what I'm about to tell you. This is just for you to know."
Franko nodded in understanding.
Leslie continued, "Dracodom is far more powerful than you think. The country only shows you what they want you to know, just like those secluded sects. They've already secluded themselves from this mundane world, living in their own system and staying off the radar so no one knows just how powerful and wealthy they are. All they care about is their attainment."
Leslie glared at his son and said, "Regardless of everything, this is the last chance you got. Princess Nana is the King's favorite child. The King has six sons but only one daughter. She's his precious. You've known each other since you both were young. Everyone could tell she has a crush on you, but you don't like her."
Franko mumbled, "Her appearance is so average, and her body isn't attractive. I don't like girls like her. That's why I kept on avoiding her."
Leslie tried his best to talk some sense into his son.
"If you still want revenge, she's your only choice. Try to please her and make her love you more. After that, she'll be willing to beg the King to help you with your revenge. Only the King has the authority to command the secret organization. They won't even give a damn about me or the other two commanders.
"Then again, we've never seen them. They're very mysterious, and they only have ten members. However, the weakest member in the secret organization is a level two warrior emperor."
