"I see," Nash said resignedly. He had faith in his father's abilities. He should be fine...
Just then, Galacstar returned to his seat, signaling Ricord to continue...

"What's wrong?" Zaafea turned to her.
"Vilgoth... is dead... His body... It was mutilated... It was brutal." "Oh, I see," Zaafea responded casually and then nonchalantly took his seat.
Ricord found his reaction strange because Kilmort had been partnered with Vilgoth for a year after he joined last year. She wanted to be kind and let him know about his partner's fate, but Kilmort's reaction was unexpectedly calm. Seeing this, she continued reporting the head count.
After confirming the list of deaths and those unreachable, the three people on the stage stood up.
The figure in the middle dressed in black was Battlestar. He took a step forward, and his majestic voice carried forward. "Everyone, please take a look at this." He then pulled out something resembling a tarot card from under his robe and threw it on the ground. A figure in a business suit with his face obscured suddenly appeared. The figure removed his hat, bowed, and then spoke.
"Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, esteemed ones. I'm one of the senior members of the Illuminion, and you may call me... Justinus." The video paused.
"This is footage we found in the attacker's pocket," Battlestar said.

"Good sirs, forgive my intrusion. You see, we're just humble 'businessmen,' and yet you treat us so. It truly saddens me. Thanks to your attention, however, we have taken certain measures.

"We'll be attending the Summit of Ten Thousand Dynasties that's held every decade. We can openly settle our differences there. Of course, you're free to choose not to come. If you do not come, however Content belongs to en.kikistories"It may mean that certain things no longer have a 'reason' to exist, yes? Hahaha, well then, gentlemen, until next time." Then, the figure vanished, and the tarot card turned to ashes.
"Everyone, I'd like to know your thoughts," Battlestar asked. For a moment, everyone was at a loss for words.
At this moment, Zaafea stepped forward.
"This is clearly a ploy to drag us from the shadows into the limelight, making us unable to touch them. It's definitely not in our favor. I suggest we don't go." Content belongs to en.kikistories"No!" Oswald shouted. "We must go! For revenge!" "Are a few lives worth more than everyone's lives? Which do you think is more important?" Zaafea asked coldly.
"They're all important!" Oswald replied tearfully. "At the very least, we can't let their sacrifices be in vain!" "Leading everyone to their deaths will only make their sacrifices meaningless. Stay calm," Zaafea said sharply.
"I am calm... hat's why... I know what I have to do..." At that moment, Nash stepped forward.
"Everyone, I have a proposal."
