After hearing the words, Shin froze for a few seconds, not entirely sure how to respond.
His mind ran helter-skelter.
'My son is a Master?! He has caught up with me in soul rank?! Shit, that woman wasn't overselling what she said during the meeting.'
Shin paled as the seconds went by; he was at least distracted from the shrewd coldness that Northern exuded.
"Are you there, father?" Despite already knowing, Northern inquired.
Shin raised his head to look at Northern, a slight frown falling upon his face.
"What? You can't..."
Northern smiled and took the statement out of Shin's mouth with ease.
"Yes, I can't see. I have temporarily been rendered blind. Sucks, but I'm sure I'll gain sight soon. But until then, I think I'll need you."
Shin rushed to the opportunity, hurriedly responding, "Of course, of course, son. You should need me."
