"I know,"
Ian's gaze fell. He had never been a manager before; it was an utterly unfamiliar field to him.
The Imperial Capital was far too dangerous for him, with restrictions aplenty. Even though he had indeed acquired a vast amount of resources and knowledge here, the presence of high energy level powerhouses and Protector Axer made Ian constantly feel a significant sense of crisis.
Should he carelessly, truly expose his most critical identity, Ian would lose everything, and there would be no room for a comeback.
The margin for error was too low.
He may joke about losing his disguise, but each time his identity was nearly discovered, Ian's heart was filled with warnings akin to 'death'.
Luckily, those who could see through him were mostly familiar with Teacher Hiliad and Inega II, and to some extent agreed with their thoughts. Otherwise, he would have had no footing in this world at all.
To this day, Ian was still protected by the legacy left by Teacher Hiliad.
