It's easy to imagine that within the management of the Silver Peak Domain, starting from Ian, except for Scott, the remaining people like Green Tide, Adalbert, and Yisen Gard wouldn't possess high emotional intelligence. They wouldn't have thought about forming good relations to gain more influence in the future—such an 'ordinary' thing.
Elan having such an idea is precisely what comforts Ian... Because with his Retrospective World, if Elan desires, he would be the least likely to be deceived in the world.
Any bribes, conspiracies, and betrayals would be obvious to him. If Elan grows up to become Ian's governing support, Ian can step aside to focus on his experiments and explore the unknown future.
"Though dangerous, as long as you're careful, you definitely won't die."
