"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."
