"You must compete, and there's a great chance you'll have to vie with others—in this scenario, Ian's identity is a definite mistake, whereas Mahdi can divert attention instead."
At this moment, the old man nodded slowly: "I understand, I will cooperate with you."
Ian bowed deeply: "Thank you for your understanding, Master."
"But Ian."
Master Gossay placed his hand on the Silent Voice Ring and solemnly advised before canceling it: "Even if you are the Prophet, capable of seeing all signs, you must always remember to protect yourself well."
