Venhorst Territory
John thought for a long time about what he should do, he had no favoritism between the two regions, all he wanted was to finish quickly in a way that satisfied both parties, but there was nothing he could do or give.
The root of the problem was not the golden hummingbird, this was just a means by which the two regions found to have access to the evolution institutes, John now has to find a way for both regions to have access to the institute, but this was more difficult than simply offering the hummingbird to one of the regions so that they could obtain a place through the completion of the mission.
John looked at the leaders and said, "Clan matriarch, tribe chief, you may leave for now. Clear the battlefield, tend to the wounded, and give a dignified interment to the dead. I will have a satisfactory answer for you in three days. Until then, none of your regions are allowed to cause trouble."
The two leaders didn't look pleased; their displeasure was evident just by looking at their faces. However, neither of them dared to say a word. "Young lord, we will leave this matter in your hands. I trust the young man will be impartial in his judgment. As soon as we receive the young man's response within three days, we will resume foreign trade operations," Kassandra said with a gleam of cunning in her eyes.
Kassandra made it clear between the lines that she would only resume trade operations with Novo Redondo and the rest of the territory once John resolved his issues, Bárbara also made a similar statement stating that she would resume trade after John's verdict.
"We say goodbye then" John said as he stood up, the two leaders Barbara and Kassandra bowed and together with the woman who brought the hummingbird left the tent.
Felicia, as they came, used the same process to carry Isa and John flying in a yellow beam of light towards Venhorst Castle on the plains.

Ngola City .
In the capital of the kingdom, right in the center of the city, before the royal family's district, there were three imposing and ancient castles, these belonged to the three great families, the castle further south of the city belonged to the Albert family .
Albert Castle .
In the castle's catacombs lay a hidden laboratory the size of a football stadium. Numerous arrays surrounded the entire laboratory, isolating it from the outside world. Numerous cocoons hung from the ceiling, and many machines connected the cocoons with intertwined tubes. In the center of the laboratory stood a giant array. Above it stood a giant box measuring two point five meters on all sides. The box was translucent, revealing its interior. A girl of about eight years old sat inside the box, hugging her knees.
The girl was dressed in shabby clothes, she had red hair, her eyes were a faint red, occasionally she moaned from the cold inside the box there were only particles of the water element concentrated forming ice crystals, the giant matrix dispersed the other elements and fortified the concentrated water element, the temperature inside the box was close to absolute zero.
The giant matrix imbued vitality and spiritual energy, forcing the girl's body to survive in this extremely cold environment.
Shatter.
A test tube was thrown against the wall by a man wearing a white lab coat, the man looked at the girl inside the box and swore angrily, after a while he forced himself to calm down.
A light shone in an array in the corner of the laboratory and two female figures took shape, both were beautiful women, one younger and the other older, the older one wore shabby clothes, an ancient dress by the standards of the kingdom, blue eyes with a dull glow, ice blue hair, skin white as snow, she looked like a piece of carved white jade.
As soon as she took form, she ran towards the box and as if she were intangible, she crossed the box and hugged the girl inside. It seemed as if she wanted to transmit some heat from her body to the girl. The girl looked at the woman and spoke with white steam coming out of her mouth. "Mother." She leaned back in the woman's arms.
The younger woman looked to be between sixteen and eighteen years old, her eyes and hair color were a vivid red, her figure was slender, even with few curves, her youthful beauty rivaled that of Catarina.
The girl walked over to the man, smiled, and said, "Hello, Dad, how's the research going? " The man smiled back and said, "Still no results. A component to reverse elemental nature is missing."
"Father, have you ever considered changing the elemental nature of fire to that of darkness?" The girl asked. "I have considered changing to the element of darkness, however the results are unsatisfactory, if we change in this way we will at most become half demons of the infernal flames.
"Father, isn't a Hellflame Demon better than the Flame Crow King's bloodline?" The girl asked, the man smiled and said, "You're right, but a complete Hellflame Demon can at most reach the fourth level, and I, Leonel Albert, will not leave one crossroads to enter another, I feel our chance lies in this mother-daughter pair." Lionel spoke, pointing to the mother-daughter pair embracing inside the box.
"We only need an energy that changes the elemental nature of the evolution core without causing any repercussions. According to my studies, the elemental arts of the Flame Raven King will be strengthened by at least double their power . " The girl was surprised by what Lionel said, she asked excitedly, "Father, does that mean that... " Lionel interrupted her, saying, "Yes, daughter, once our elemental nature is changed, not only will we free ourselves from the shackles of bloodline, but our combat power will also increase greatly.
The girl was delighted. Lionel looked at his daughter and asked, "Did you just come to bring this woman, or is there something else you came here for?" When the girl heard Lionel's question, something occurred to her. She nodded and said, "Yes, Father , I came to tell you that a lord has scheduled an audience with you tomorrow."
"A lord?" Lionel asked. "Yes, a lord of territory." The girl stated. "Who would that lord be?" The girl thought for a moment and said, "It's Lord Venhorst." The girl declared, "Oh! Lord Venhorst, Fernando Venhorst!" Lionel exclaimed. The girl looked at her father and asked, "Father, do you know him?" Yes, I know him. I owe him a debt. It's good that he's coming to claim it. I don't like to owe people.

The next day.
Venhorst Territory .
In the castle's living room, Catarina, Felícia and John were having breakfast , but John seemed a little absent. Catarina looked at her son and asked: "What is it, John? You seem a little distant, what's bothering you?"
