Morine wasn’t one to delve deeply into matters of fate.

In the ‘Apocalyptic Book’, he found a treasure trove of miscellaneous knowledge, but the one thing missing was an explanation of fate. He used to liken fate to the caste system in India, where high fate equated to high caste. Just like a high-caste person, someone with high fate had a prestigious social standing but wasn’t inherently powerful.

However, Maria’s words suggested that fate was much more intricate than that. The idea that the Divine Dragon wasn’t born but could be achieved puzzled him even further. How could something of such high destiny not have a natural origin and yet be attainable in the future?

Morine felt completely adrift, unable to find any clues to make sense of it all.

At that moment, Maria flashed a reassuring smile and said, “Young Master, don’t fret too much. I’m still studying the Book of Changes. Perhaps with another breakthrough, I’ll unlock the secrets of the Divine Dragon’s fate.”

Morine felt a glimmer of relief. He realized that understanding something as complex as this couldn’t be rushed, so he decided to set aside the question of the Divine Dragon for now. Turning to Maria, he said, “Miss Clark, I have no further inquiries. As promised, I’ll give those three gentlemen a chance. Would you mind calling them over?”
