Nerissa stared at Ethan, speechless. How can someone be this shameless?
In the end, she still nodded. "I'll do my best to persuade the Clan Chief."
Then she added, more carefully, "But my people have influence in Eldoria's Southern Region. If powerhouses from the other regions show up… we won't be able to do anything."
"Other regions are that strong?" Ethan asked, interest sharpening.
"Yes." Nerissa's expression turned serious. "Eldoria is divided into five major regions: the Eastern Region, Southern Region, Western Region, Northern Region, and Central Region."
"Among them, the Southern and Western Regions are relatively weak. The Eastern and Northern Regions are much stronger. And the Central Region…" She paused, like the words themselves carried weight. "That's where the true top-tier races live. Their overall strength is far beyond the other four regions."
"The gap's that big?" Ethan blurted.
