Real goal

"Are faction forces really that powerful?" Emily felt like her entire worldview had just been turned upside down.

She had always known that faction forces were strong, but because she was too weak and the gap between them was too vast, she had never been able to grasp just how powerful they truly were.

She knew they were formidable—but to what extent?

She had no clue.

Completely in the dark.

No concrete concept of their strength.

But now, everything Ethan was saying was finally giving her a rough yet clear understanding of what faction forces were capable of.

Rough yet clear—

Two words that seemed contradictory, but in reality, weren't.

They could coexist.

Because if even Ethan—who was far more experienced than her—only understood a fraction of what faction forces were truly capable of, then what chance did she have?

People often say that your greatest enemy knows you best.
