Noland Lee's conflict with the Deep Sea Branch ultimately stemmed from a clash of ideas with the head of the Pomida Family.
Mingwaq Pomida, the head of the Pomida Family and Selena's father, was worried that Noland Lee would leverage the "Dragon Clan Treasure" he held to expand his influence within the Deep Sea Branch.
If Noland Lee were in the position of head of the Pomida Family, he too would harbor such apprehension.
A targeted solution could temporarily ease the tension between both sides.
As a First Rank Wizard, Noland Lee certainly had impressive combat skills, but his status within the Realm of Wizards was too low.
He had money, but not enough to completely win over Mingwaq Pomida with billions of gold coins.
His strength was considerable, but he was far from invincible.
If caught unprepared by an enemy ambush, he would still wither like a leaf in the wind.
