Noan didn't rush to teleport back to the Chaotic Zone. Instead, he went to find Billy.
At that moment, Billy was still in his lab, speaking with someone. Suddenly, he sensed something and hurried to his private chamber.
After shutting the door and carefully confirming that no one else was present, he said quickly, "I'm here."
A moment later, Noan appeared before him, looking straight at him. "Anything unusual lately?" he asked.
Hearing the question, Billy sighed softly. "A lot. First, the Jankos Family can't sit still anymore—they're planning to overthrow the Empress."
"Hm?!" Noan's eyes widened in shock. "You're serious?"
"Haiz…" Billy exhaled deeply. "Yes. They're forcing me to mass-produce mechanical-type Heroes to resist the Royal Army. It's nearly impossible, but they've taken my wife as a hostage."
"Ah!" Billy suddenly realized something and added quickly, "Don't worry, I never revealed Noralia's location. Even when they asked, I told them I didn't know."
