Just as Pansha had mentioned, Ian himself wasn't eager to meddle in these muddy waters either.
It wasn't that the exposure of his Dragon Worship Cult identity was an insignificant matter; rather, it was because he could only display the strength of a Fae of the First Energy Level in front of others, which was too limiting.
But if he didn't follow along with The Empire's side, acting alone would be too dangerous.
What exactly had happened in the Western Territory, the young man knew nothing, not even what to prepare for.
Although Sio was indeed a good person, or rather a good dragon, expecting Ian to risk his life and the possibility of exposure to save him... Even Sio himself would probably find that preposterous.
"But I can't just do nothing; it would bother me," Ian thought to himself: "At the very least, he gave me a piece of jewelry; I should at least offer some help."
