Dean Garner shook his head without offering an explanation.
"This young man, could he actually have a notable background?" the elder beside him asked, perplexed.
He couldn't see Ethan Smith as someone from an aristocratic family.
*Dean Garner's words today had him utterly bewildered.*
At that moment, Dean Garner slowly said, "I only recently learned about the child's lineage."
"Is his father powerful?" the elder asked again, confused.
Dean Garner glanced at him, opened his mouth as if to speak, but ultimately said nothing.
Just then.
The peak master, accompanied by Ethan Smith, had already arrived at the first main peak.
"I'll tell you this—I've done what I could, but in cases like these, there's about a ninety-nine percent chance Dean Garner won't agree," the peak master said in a solemn tone.
Ethan Smith gave a slight nod and said, "Thank you, peak master."
