Inside the military jeep, Douglas and Nathanael had hideous expressions on their faces, as if someone had killed their parents.
"What now?" Nathanael spoke coldly. He was infuriated by Nixon's sharp words, but alas, he wasn't his match, nor could he afford to provoke the Nightmare Knight Legion.
Douglas's eyes flashed with killing intent, "Let's visit the Magistrate. This matter was out of our hands the moment that guy's talent as a Blanker became apparent. And that Nixon is going too far just because he's a Knight Commander. He thinks he owns this place!"
Nathanael sighed ruefully, "Who would've thought another blanker would appear in a century, and we let it slip because of our own foolishness!"
Douglas sneered, "Hmph, it's too late to regret. But since that guy dared to jump ship, we must make sure he regretted it. He couldn't live in the safety of Nightmare Knight Legion's building.
"Let's spread the news about him being a blanker to all over the freedom plains. I'm pretty sure those arrogant clans won't take it sitting and try to rope him in or try to eliminate him if he was a threat to their position!"
Nathanael frowned, "Won't we provoke Nixon?"
"So, what? We'll be in the safety of our country, and the legion will not side with him since he had no proof that it was us who did it." A ruthless glint flashed past Douglas's eyes, "Don't forget the legion is not as united as it looked, and they might take that guy as an eyesore and try to eliminate him before he could even mature."
Nathanael's lips suddenly curled up, "You're even more vicious than me, secretary!"
"No one can provoke the dignity of our country and then get away with it!" Douglas coldly scoffed!

Nixon, who was standing in a small white space, was facing a blurry projection at this moment. He came here right after Jacob left.
Nixon's arrogant and cold expression was nowhere to be found as he stood respectfully while facing this projection.
"A Blanker, you say? What is his kind?" A husky voice sounded from the projection.
He replied respectfully, "He's unknown in Rare Plains Database."
"Unknow?" A hint of surprise appeared in this husky voice, "Alright, send him here. I'll find a way to help him awake a rare element."
Nixon frowned as he said, "I don't think it would be a good idea to give him everything so easily. This way, he won't be grateful and won't know our kindness."
"Hmm? So, he's like that deviant prick from the Alchemy Guild?" The husky voice sneered coldly.
"It's still unclear, but we couldn't be too careful after what happened with the Alchemy Guild. I also think he's worth nurturing, but we have to be absolutely sure we make the final decision. He's too careful."
A wily glint flashed past Nixon's eyes as he continued. "That's why I let those two dogs of the country go so they could spread this news about a blanker appearing in our legion, and he's a permanent member. Although others might not know what a permanent member is but the permanent members know what it means!"
"Hahahaha… you wanted him to experience the harshness of the four powers as well as the suppression of those permeant members before giving him a helping hand like a savior." The husky voice laughed in satisfaction.
"Excellent, Nixon. You're indeed good at manipulating people. Alright, do as you see fit and contact me as soon as the time is ripe. But don't let him die, or someone else snatched him from us, or I'll blame you."
"Please rest assured, he's too important for me to let him die or get poached by someone else. I'm sure he might not even dare to leave once he learned about the terror of Wild Nation, much less join other knights!" Nixon smiled slyly as he reinsured the other party.
It was as if everything was under his control!

Jacob entered the training room at this moment, the fifth room on the left wall.
The moment he entered, a spacious hall appeared in his view, and many advanced training pieces of equipment were arranged, some of which he had never seen before. There was also a training ring in the center.
But Jacob wasn't in the mood to admire this place because he was more concerned about the message he received from the zodiac warrior alliance.
Although Nixon had given him some idea about the whole situation, he still wanted to be completely sure.
Furthermore, he had displeased the Golden Swords Country, which would not end well for him.
Although Nixon told him not to tell anyone about him being a permanent member, yet, he invited him in front of those two, so it wasn't hard to guess that he had done it purposely.
Nevertheless, Jacob didn't reveal it and pretended he was oblivious to it.
He then found the bedroom, sat down, and quickly opened the first message, which was about the rules and regulations of the alliance as well as the ranking system, which was the same as Nixon described it.
Furthermore, he also noticed that in the alliance ranking system, there wasn't any information on Fighter Knight or Magic Knight at all.
The only information he got was for the Nine Nightmare Warrior Star Ranks, which were specific for the Rare Plains and were the same as the star ranks of the nightmare legion, and there were only names of the rank above, not detailed information.
Lastly, he discovered that the Nine Nightmare Warrior Star Ranks weren't divided into fighter and magic. Hence, it became apparent to Jacob at this moment that he was suspecting after he met with Nixon.
'So, that guy is hiding his magic potential from the public. I was curious why he was only known for being a fighter knight while he had a 4-star magic core. They might not even know he's an Extraordinary!
'So, a permanent member can also hide this fact about their magic power and true strength. I'm pretty sure they couldn't be a permanent member without magic power!'
