Hearing those words, Kyro shook his head. "It's true that Reagan could easily do it. But why would he? The Steeles are one of his loyal dogs, so why cut off his own arm without cause?"

Luna pondered before adding, "As you said, Grandpa, there's no reason for him to do that now. But from what I know, Reagan is extremely arrogant and profit-driven. Given proper motivation, discarding the Steeles wouldn't trouble him."

She turned to Felix. "What you may not know, Dr. Zeller, is that Reagan is one of our nation's three most powerful figures. The Steeles only rose to their current status after gaining his favor, which happened in such a short time and is very different from old families like

ours.

"Only Reagan could gather them all as you wish. If he approves, even their total elimination could be dismissed as a mere fire, with no media daring to report otherwise. The impact would be minimal."

Felix stroked his chin thoughtfully before asking "Does Reagan have any particular obsession? Perhaps something he can't resist?"

Silence fell over the study until Kyro picked up his phone. "I'll ask someone who would know best."

Micah seemed to know who Kyro was about to call. His expression turned respectful, clearly holding the call's recipient in high regard.

"My grandfather's calling the founder of the Royal Warriors' Path. And his status in Astoria is second only to Reagan's."

After hanging up, Kyro looked cautiously optimistic. "He says Reagan is obsessed with items belonging to one particular person. With such an item at stake, he would do anything."

Really? Felix marveled. When King Aurelius sought immortality, he sent Francis to find an elixir of eternal life. Francis sailed east and never returned, knowing no such elixir existed and returning meant certain death.

Records suggested Francis settled in what became Astoria. The shadowstalkers' techniques supposedly evolved from Mystical Arts of Balance. This connection made Reagan's obsession more logical.

It seemed possible that Reagan's bloodline traced back to Francis himself.

"Grandpa, this leads nowhere. Francis lived over two thousand years ago. How could we find anything of his? And Reagan would instantly spot any fakes. It's hopeless."

Kyro pointed at Felix. "It's true that we couldn't. But Dr. Zeller is the most extraordinary
