Upon hearing his words, both the Singularity of Flame and the Singularity of Light were momentarily stunned.
The Singularity of Light, in particular, hadn't expected Nolan to bring up such a claim to discredit him.
He had assumed Nolan would use the truth—that he had attacked Elina Lorian—as his excuse.
But clearly, he had miscalculated. This man wasn't following the script he had expected.
"Wait!" the Singularity of Flame quickly cut in. "Are you saying you attacked the Singularity of Light because of that?"
Nolan gave a small nod. "Yes. That was the main reason."
Then, with a slight furrow of his brow beneath the mask, he added in a displeased tone, "And what—are you underestimating that reason? Don't forget, there's a treaty among the Singularities that forbids us from interfering in the affairs of the Empires and Kingdoms on this continent. Breaking that rule carries a serious punishment. Or have you forgotten?"
