Draven spoke calmly once more, stating, "I don't need you to ask your father to give up the powers. All I require is your assistance in luring him away from the establishment. I will then use my own methods to obtain the powers."
Valen silently pondered the situation for a moment before expressing his concerns, saying, "While it wouldn't be difficult to lure Edmund away, I worry that if he returns to find the powers missing, he may blame me and finally have a reason to get rid of me. Draven, your request seems like stepping into quicksand - it's risky."
