Seeing how confident his son was, Leandre was speechless. He had no choice. He had to teach his son patiently even if he had to hold back his tears.

He continued to ask, “If that’s the case, why didn’t the Norse Republic Academy snatch Nico’s forbidden core?”

“There are many experts gathered in the Norse Republic Academy, and the resources they have are more than ten times that of our family. They can definitely develop the forbidden core, so why aren’t they doing anything yet?

“Could it be for the so-called benevolence, righteousness, and morality?”

Hearing his father’s question, Qadeer Khan finally came to his senses. He had just been tempted by the merits of the war and the powerful abilities of the forbidden core. He was not an idiot.

The battle between forces could be carried out under the banner of benevolence, righteousness, and morality. However, in the face of interests, all forces’ private means were ruthless. The so-called benevolence and righteousness had long been thrown out of the clouds.

Even the Norse Republic Academy, which believed in the Norse Republic, was the same.

Qadeer Khan hesitated for a moment before saying, “Could it be that the rumors about the forbidden core are wrong?”

Seeing that his son had finally come to his senses, Leandre no longer tried to hide it and explained.

“The reason why I gave up on attacking the warship is that there are four problems that have not been solved.

“We don’t know what the forbidden core can do. We’ve never seen it with our own eyes. All the news was spread by the forbidden mecha Scarlet Demon.

“Because of Scarlet Demon’s prestige and strength, everyone believed his words more, but they definitely can’t believe them completely.

“There is no doubt that the forbidden core is a treasure, but whether its abilities are that ridiculous is still a question.

“Obtaining the forbidden core would allow one to live forever, and they can even split up to achieve immortality as a group. How could it be so simple?

“That’s the first question. What’s the use of the forbidden core? Is it worth the family’s full effort to bet on?”

A gentle breeze blew over, lifting up the sparse hair on his head, making people worry if the last few strands of hair on his head would be blown away by the wind.

“Nico was first discovered by the Norse Republic Academy, so they should have known about the secret of the forbidden core long ago. Why didn’t they snatch Nico’s treasure? There must be a hidden reason.

“Either the forbidden core has already recognized Nico as its master and is bound to him, making them inseparable, or there were certain conditions or costs to using the forbidden core. These conditions or costs could only be met by Nico.

“This touches on the second question. How can one use the forbidden core? It is because of this suspicion that we recruited Nico before.”

Leandre continued.

“Now that the news of the forbidden core has been leaked, even if we are lucky enough to get the treasure, we will still be besieged by many forces.

“How can our clan guard a treasure that can grant immortality?

“This is the third question.

“Besides, I’ve been asking you to find the true God of War Wu Yisheng’s whereabouts, but you still haven’t received any news. If we attack rashly, the Norse Republic Academy and Wu Yisheng will definitely be prepared.

“The other party is well prepared, and the enemy is in the dark while we are out in the open. It is difficult to predict the outcome of this battle, so how can we guarantee victory? This is the fourth question.

“If you don’t solve these four problems, you’ll start a war. This isn’t the way a family head should think.”

Qadeer Khan lowered his head in shame, completely losing the confidence he had when he questioned his father.

Instead of blaming him, Leandre shared his thoughts with him, hoping that his heir would be more mature.

“Qadeer, the Hilda family has relied on the heritage left behind before the battle of the two cities, as well as the development of the republic over the past hundred years, to achieve our current achievements.

“This is how we can dominate a region.

“Although our power wasn’t as strong as the nobles before the battle of the two cities, we are still considered to be the most influential people in Sword Shield City.

“You think that the family is at its peak, and it seems to be infinitely glorious, but in fact, as the head of the family, every step I take is like walking on thin ice.

“Especially in recent years, the struggle between the Republican Party and the aristocratic forces has entered a white-hot state.

“After hundreds of years of tolerance and accumulation, the Republican Party has already turned their resources into combat power. They are looking for various reasons all over the country to attack us nobles.”

The Norse Republic was founded on the concept of equality. However, after the founding of the republic, in order to fight against radioactive creatures and stabilize the domestic situation, the republic had to rely on the power of the nobles.

That’s why the nobles’ power was restored.

In the early days of the founding of the country, because the Republican forces had started late and their combat power was not enough, they had been tolerant and accommodating to the nobles.

However, in recent years, many people among the Republican forces felt that the development had been enough, and the time to remove the noble titles and exempt the noble privileges was ripe.

Some of the small nobles had already been removed by the Republican forces.

“Father, you mean to say that Nico and the forbidden core are a fatal bait to lure the Hilda family into attacking?” Qadeer Khan asked in bewilderment.

“The true purpose of the Norse Republic Academy is not to escort Nico to the academy, but to the Hilda family?”

Leandre said to his eldest son in a serious tone, “Qadeer, a brilliant schemer never seals a knot. A knot can be easily guessed by others. A good strategy is to be able to change between reality and illusion and to be flexible from left and right.

“As long as we don’t attack Nico’s warship, the Norse Republic Academy will be able to take him and the forbidden core without a hitch.

“If we attack the battleship, then it means that the Hilda family is deliberately starting a war. They might have prepared everything in secret. Once we start a war, the academy will destroy our family with lightning speed and return Sword Shield City to the embrace of a bullsh*t republic.”
