The parchment he just used was an item that was supposed to grant a 100% guaranteed success. It wasn't a matter of if he would be able to tame Noah, but what should he do after gaining such a specimen that showed prowess beyond the ordinary. And it wasn't just Noah.
Burke's gaze meticulously scanned the creatures behind Noah; he couldn't stop himself from licking his lips.

His trembling intensified as his hands clutched the parchment harder, as though he could squeeze the process to go faster.
