The three of them were undoubtedly the most powerful people below the top experts and the main force. The top experts rarely fought unless there was a big batter. And even if they did, both sides would have a match. Although the top experts in the east were slightly better than those the west, their overall strength was still on par with that of those in the west, and those top experts in the west had means to hold them back. As Jason had said, it was impossible for them to overturn the situation even if another top expert appeared. Only when there was an expert in Supreme Realm would the situation change dramatically.

He followed. They entered a wider hall lined with tall shelves and closed doors. The scent here was different. Old paper. Wood polish. Something faintly metallic beneath it. “You know,” Lorenzo said, “most people misunderstand power.” “Let me guess,” Isadora said. “You believe it is misunderstood because people fear it.” “No,” he replied. “They misunderstand it because they think it requires force.” She stopped near one of the shelves. “And you think it does not?” “I think force is inefficient,” he said. “Temporary.”

That's what this requires honesty about who you are and what you're willing to do." She set down her cup. "So let's start with the basics. Power in our world comes from three sources: fear, loyalty, and leverage. Most people focus on fear. They think violence and intimidation are power. But that's crude. Unsustainable." "What do you focus on?"

About honour. But they were fools to think that way. Thinking like that would only tie one back. Power was all about leverage. It was about creating fear in the heart of the weak. It was about uncovering the secrets of the mighty and using it to your own advantage. That is what power has always been. That was what power was about. Not what people made it to be.

It didn’t come from violence. Power came from systems. From networks, from making illegal things look perfectly legal.

For the first time since she’d met him, he looked… tired. “That man,” Lucian said quietly, “Elias—he and I didn’t just work together. We trusted each other.
