Riding side by side with Zalanda, Gaven broke the deadlock by saying, "General Conrad, I have a suggestion that you might consider."
"What suggestion?" Conrad didn't just ignore Gaven; in fact, he seemed even more cautious than when dealing with Zalanda.
Because here, Gaven was no longer an insignificant figure.
Darama's split from the Saladas Family's control began with this man's arrival, and it happened so quickly that the Saladas Family had no time to react.
As Zalanda had guessed, her ability to capture Darama and grow stronger was all under the tacit approval of the Saladas Family.
From the very beginning, the Saladas Family treated her as a mere pawn to create chaos.
They never considered her a threat, such was their confidence borne from absolute military power.
They were confident that one charge would be enough to retake Darama.
All of this changed fundamentally with the arrival of Gaven.
