But Viscount Grant still hadn't been found.
It wasn't until his child was about to be born that this man finally understood — he just wanted a foundation that could bring him peace, a family and people he could devote himself to.
(Perhaps this is also why Viscount Grant was able to advance to the Third Energy Level so quickly after his child was born. Whether it's the Swarm or Spirit Disaster... Humans can truly unleash their potential only when they're focused and determined to strive for one single goal.)
Foreseeing the future validated by reality, combined with the powerful momentum Viscount showed when piloting 'Conquest Ripple' earlier, Ian could faintly sense that at this very moment, Viscount Grant was truly just one step away from the Third Energy Level — the former Viscount might have been wary because Ian was uncontrollable, yet now he could offer blessings sincerely from his heart.
This wasn't weakness; it was a testament to inner strength.
