Chapter 1292 The Battle Within

• Alva sat down next to Qin Nianxia, reached out, gently tucked a stray hair behind her ear, and said, "You must be feeling very uneasy right now, aren't you? Ares used your father to threaten you. I heard that your father is a talented pharmacist. Ares lacks skill in that area and wants to recruit your father to his side. To turn an enemy's allies against them, you have to exploit their vulnerabilities. The struggles of parents in this world!"
• "What are you talking about?" Qin Nianxia frowned.
• Alva sighed and continued, "You are truly a naive young soul, inexperienced in the ways of the world. The Forgers and the Adventurers' Guild are sworn enemies. Ares would never be foolish enough to favor someone under his enemy's command. However, your father's value as a pawn is significant, so by trapping you, he essentially traps your father. Ares is always a cunning strategist. Even I was misled by him, mistakenly believing that you were trying to manipulate him for your own gain. In reality, he was simply using you to further his own agenda."
