Nathan brought a cup of hot water to Selena, who was still in a deep thought. Sullivan had given them a tent for them to use while staying in this place.
It was just a simple tent with two beds inside.
Selena was sitting on the bed while lifting her legs up and burying her face in her thighs.
“Drink first.”
Selena shook her head, not wanting to speak.
He could understand her feelings, as he couldn’t help but recall what Sullivan said earlier.
“What? Asura Face?” Selena’s body trembled.
“Yeah. Aside from me, there are probably only a few who know about it. Nevertheless, I don’t think your father has died, but I can’t deny that something must have happened.” Sullivan nodded.
“Where is he? What is Asura Face?” Selena’s expression turned serious.
“I don’t know.” Sullivan shook his head. “There is only one person who knows that information.”
“Who is he?” Selena looked like she was going to search for that person just to help her father. Her rationality was lost the moment Sullivan mentioned her father.
Sullivan shook his head. “I’m not going to tell you about that person, not because I have a personal grudge, but because you don’t have the strength to do anything. Rather than sending you to your death, it’s better if you hate me.”
Selena’s fingers were moving as if she wanted to attack Sullivan. To prevent her from doing anything, Nathan just held her hand. If she wanted to strangle someone, his hand could be her target.

Selena bit her lips. Thanks to Nathan, she regained a bit of composure. She said, “What can I do to get that information?”
Sullivan raised a finger. “Kill three warrior class aliens. It doesn’t matter if you get help from your peers, but not from your seniors. If you are able to do that, I’ll tell you everything I know.”
Selena couldn’t really accept it, but she had no choice. This was the first clue she had ever received regarding her father’s whereabouts.
Meanwhile, Nathan showed his brilliance by analyzing the content of this information.
“Asura Face… Is it related to the rumored Asura Palace, the scary dominating force that is said to have been the first to be destroyed by the aliens?”
“Do you know that place?”
“I’ve come across some information about it.” Nathan nodded.
“When you mention this, you are going to make her go to that place. Besides, you don’t know the exact location. Without it, you won’t be able to find that place.” Sullivan sighed, slightly disappointed by Nathan. He didn’t say anything because he didn’t want Selena to die.
However, Nathan confidently said, “Don’t worry. She won’t go.”
“What do you mean?” The one who asked that question was Selena, her hand was squeezing Nathan’s hand strongly. “Are you going to stop me from finding my father?”
“No. The reason I know why you won’t go right now, but instead, follow the condition of Sir Sullivan, is because that’s the gift of your father.” Nathan smiled.
“A gift?” Both Sullivan and Selena were confused.
Nathan raised one finger. “What was the Asura Palace known for? Who was Asura? This information could be traced back several hundred years ago, before the alien invasion.
“Asura was known for his bloodthirsty nature, which caused millions of people to die. The blood on his hand was so red that it could never be washed away. At the same time, what did it represent? Unlike the current Land of Death, the Asura Palace, which was originally known as the Land of Death, was more portrayed with the image of blood instead of decay.”
“Blood?” Selena raised her eyebrows as if realizing what he was going to say.
“Vampire, huh?” Sullivan squinted his eyes.
“Yes. He might go there to seek an artifact that could represent the strongest item that had been smeared by so much blood. And that was for one reason only…” Nathan turned to Selena. “You told me you didn’t have the confidence because you were unable to summon a progenitor. It was unprecedented.
“However, your father didn’t like that idea. I had no knowledge about your family’s current affair, but I certainly know one thing, your father… was doing it for you. He was probably seeking an item that could be used to summon a vampire progenitor so that his daughter was able to break free from all those foul-mouthed idiots. It was for you, Selena.”
Selena’s body was shaking. Nathan was implying that if she just forced herself to go, it was the same as not respecting her father’s wish.
It was the father she respected so much. If she went there and died, what would her father do? What if he woke up and found his beloved daughter dead from recklessly trying to find him? frёewebnoѵēl.com
Selena knew this. No matter what, she still had three years to summon the vampire progenitor. As long as she summoned a progenitor, no one in the family would dare to question her authority.
At that time, mobilizing the resources to find her father would definitely be much easier, especially with this clue.
She had waited for so long to find her father. And after entering the academy, her life had gone better. She met Nathan, a man she could trust.
He was asking for her to trust him in this matter. In exchange, he would guarantee her father’s rescue.
Selena took several deep breaths. “I understand.”
“Thank you.” Nathan smiled. After that, he turned to Sullivan and said, “Sir Sullivan. If you don’t mind, can you listen to my suggestion about the battle and how we should proceed?”
“Hoh? You do remember that you are a normal person, while I’m the highest rank in the military.”
“I know. But don’t you give people an opportunity? It doesn’t hurt to hear the mumbling of a commoner, right?” Nathan smiled.
“Interesting.”
After recalling that conversation, Nathan looked at the sulking Selena. He could understand that she was still in a bad mood, even though she said she understood the situation.
But before he left, Selena grabbed his hand and made him sit next to her as if she felt bad for not responding.
Even though she didn’t say anything, she just grabbed the cup and rested her head on Nathan’s shoulder, as if saying she was glad he was here.
