"Uncle, why not allow us to go there?" Arthur suggested to Ryan.
Catherine stood behind Arthur, avoiding direct eye contact with Ryan.
"Cathy, it's an extremely perilous place," Ryan cautioned, addressing Cathy directly behind Arthur.
Sighing, Ryan turned his attention back to Arthur. "Arthur, look after her, will you?" he requested, declining their request to venture into the Realm of Madness.
Ryan rejected their proposal to venture into the Realm of Madness.
"But I'm already quite powerful," Cathy weakly protested to Ryan, positioning herself behind Arthur.
Ryan cast a cold gaze at Cathy and retorted, "Many claim you have my talent, but it seems wasted on you."
"Even Arthur, who is 60 years younger than you, has surpassed your level."
"I cannot allow you to go until you've reached the Golden Core stage," Ryan declared firmly.
