Master Bertram really didn't want to serve the Emperor anymore, but Master Lane's offer was too great to refuse.
Master Bertram resisted a few times, but in the end, he couldn't resist the allure of the Great Path. He asked Master Lane: "You have to grant me the Sixth Great Realm and protect His Majesty by my side."
"In your dreams!" Abner Lane unceremoniously rejected: "Do you think the Sixth Great Realm is a cheap commodity that you can ask for at any time? How many of them exist in the entire Wood Dynasty? Even if I wanted to persuade them, I would have to offer sweet words. Don't be greedy when there's no extra benefits!"
Master Lane indeed had nothing available at the moment.
