"Forget it, wherever he went, it's none of my business. Even if he encounters danger, is there anyone in the entire universe who could possibly stand against my mentor?"

"The disciple of the Blackgold Sovereign is almost here," Velen said, a flicker of anticipation flashing through his eyes. "I'll have a little spar with him first. Once I beat him so badly he doesn't even know where he is, he'll surely call for backup. Then, we'll finally get to meet the Blackgold Sovereign himself."
