Duke Arsena, as the most influential figure in the Northern Myst Empire, held the pivotal decision-making power at this moment.
Both the Mystery Protector and Natasha were eagerly awaiting Arsena's final verdict.
After a prolonged silence, Duke Arsena finally voiced his thoughts, "We can't afford to remain enemies with John and the Naga tribe any longer. Just as Queen Naga mentioned, Storm City is the real danger ahead. Although I would like nothing more than to eliminate Ocean Sage, it's not currently feasible. Let's prioritize the safety of Storm City for now. Once it's secure, we can devise a plan to deal with Ocean Sage."
Natasha didn't object; she nodded in agreement.
The Mystery Protector, although filled with reluctance, had no other choice but to concur with Duke Arsena's decision.
And so, all three formidable figures from the Northern Myst Empire returned to Storm City.
