Seeing the atmosphere grow tense, Nathan shifted the conversation.
There were two reasons why he was present at the Mage Association.
The first was to ensure that it was not Silvus Grandus who could have been behind the incident.
The genius mage, who had invented his own mana technique and from what Nathan could sense, had mana sensitivity rivaling the Grevilles.
It was a known fact that the Grevilles had the highest mana sensitivity, but most of them never became mages. If they did, however, they were in a league of their own.
‘But he will not gain anything,’ Nathan thought to himself.
It didn’t make sense for Silvus, who stayed away from elite families and their social circles.
Silvus was an orphan who reached the top without relying on familial status.
One of the elders in the Mage Association had seen Silvus’s talent when he was young and allowed him to enroll in the Mage Association.
But he only offered him a role as a beginner mage in the association. It was Silvus himself who worked hard and gradually climbed to the top.
Many people tried to connect with him when he reached SS Rank, but he ignored them. He absolutely despised those who reached the top merely due to innate talent.
He had been challenged throughout his life, and finally, when the previous Chairman passed away, Silvus took over the Mage Association. He had garnered enough status in the Mage Association to succeed, but it was only when he reached SSS Rank that he gained true authority.
Previously, he could only move freely within the Mage Association, which made it difficult for others to approach him, but reaching SSS Rank made it impossible for others to pressure him.
And that’s why Nathan was confident that someone like Silvus would understand the consequences of disturbing the current balance.
But he wanted to ensure that if Silvus was involved in the Dungeon Explosion, he wouldn’t try anything unusual.
The second reason was that Lucas had also come to the Mage Association and was currently on the 70th floor where the VIP area for observing the workings of the Mage Association was located.
And Hasan was currently escorting him.
“Well, my grandson is also enjoying himself here as well,” Nathan said with a laugh.
Silvus was familiar with Nathan’s carefree behavior.
He had the most unpredictable personality among all SSS Rank Hunters, but he was also the most dangerous one.
Because of his high sensitivity, Silvus could sense it.
Being an SSS Rank Hunter, Silvus was the epitome of what hunters could achieve, but there were very few existences that made him feel threatened.
One was Farnus Calmort, and the other one who induced this feeling was Nathaniel Greville.
Farnus was the strongest SSS Rank Hunter, he was closer to the peak of SSS Rank, and Nathan was at the middle stage of SSS Rank like Silvus, but he felt a similar sense of danger from him as he did from Farnus.
“You would understand how I feel about them, seeing how carefully you treat your own grandchildren,” Nathan said with an amused look.
“I just worry for their safety. I want them to grow stronger without any external influence,” Silvus replied with a stern look on his face.
It was a known fact that Silvus never allowed his grandchildren to leave the territory of the Mage Association and he would never attend functions like the Kalvas Gala with his family.
This was to ensure that others stayed away from his family.
“Why did you reveal their existence?” Silvus asked a question he had long intended to ask.
Nathan could have concealed Ivar’s children’s existence, but announcing their presence to the world was not beneficial for them.
“They are the children of my family, they deserve the same treatment that Asher and Amelia received,” Nathan replied.
Nathan also understood what Silvus was trying to ask.
The power the Greville family would have in the near future could even rival the World Association, and many would not sit quietly and let them grow strong.
“And who would dare touch them while I am alive?” Nathan asked as he looked at Silvus.

“And about your stay,” Silvus said as he looked at Nathan.
“You can stay here but make your presence less noticeable,” Silvus gave his final offer.
On the 70th Floor,
“Livia would have liked this,” Lucas said, looking at the various facilities he was exploring.
At first, he thought that being a mage wasn’t much fun, but seeing many magical things all around him as he watched people casting all sorts of spells made him realize that it was fun after all.
Lucas was only here for a single day and then he would go back to the Greville Mansion.
“Grandfather is meeting the Chairman of the Mage Association right now?” Lucas asked.
“Yes, Young Master,” Hassan replied with a smile.
‘Is he trying to copy Young Master Asher?’ Hassan smiled as he looked at Lucas, who was acting like Asher.
But he could see on his face that his eyes would always wander around watching multiple people casting spells.
Currently, they were watching many mages demonstrate their newly researched spells. Their research would be scored and this affected their standing in the Mage Association.
But as Lucas was moving, he was also attracting a lot of attention. However, nobody approached him as Hassan was careful to ensure that nobody approached Lucas.
It was a strict order from Nathan, that regardless of their status, nobody should approach him.
“Is he the kid Father was talking about?” A young girl with silver hair asked.
“Yes,” Her attendant replied.
“Hmmph, he doesn’t look that strong anyway. I bet we can easily beat these twins,” She turned and left.
At first, she wanted to meet Lucas but her attendant didn’t let her.
“I am sorry, it’s the chairman’s order. We can’t really..” Her attendant tried to raise her mood.
“I know, I know, Grandpa and his rules,” She kept pouting as she left.
“Sigh, we dodged a bullet,” One of her guards replied.
Hassan noticed that the presence of many S Rank guards disappeared as they left, and he could guess who the girl was.
Silvus had a grandson and a granddaughter who were twins.
And judging by the amount of security the little girl had around her, it was not hard for Hassan to assume that she was indeed the granddaughter of the Chairman of the Mage Association.
“Well, this is better anyway,” Hassan said to himself as he looked over Lucas who was sitting calmly and was watching the presentation.
Even if it was the Chairman’s granddaughter herself, Hassan would still have followed the order Nathan had given him.
