Xander's eyes gleamed, though his gaze was cloudy with age. He sighed deeply, then stepped out of the living room. Standing outside, he tilted his head back to gaze at the star-studded sky. "Xayne," he began, "Do you believe there are dragons in this world?""What?! Dragons in this world?!"Xayne was stunned as his pupils dilated in shock.

Does that mean I am already being watched?'Upon seeing the worry overwhelm Xayne, Xander chuckled and gently patted his shoulder. "Grandson, don't worry. With me here, no one will dare lay a finger on you. This world operates by its own rules. Radiant Commander's warriors rarely interfere in worldly matters, let alone those in the Numen Commander. If they act, it would be as if the mountains were crumbling. So, they're unlikely to act recklessly. Even knowing that the Red Drago
