In this chapter, we learn that the "black-scaled earth dragon" in question is none other than the father of the protagonist. He's the one who killed the assassin of the previous chapter, and he's also the man who captured the assassin. He tells the protagonist that he can't take over the city because he wants to take over his father's position. He also tells him that within days, news of the assassination will spread throughout the city. The protagonist will be blamed for the death of his father, and the city will fall under the control of the dark guild. He says that if he had just let him be the lord of the city, no one would ever have killed him. He adds that he has raised the protagonist to betray him now, and that he'll kill him in fifteen minutes if he doesn't stop.
