Chapter 79: Think of It This Way...

"Has this young goblin confused you yet?" Rizz cocked his back with an evocative smirk.

With a heart bleeding from regret, Chief Kert shook his head. "... No. You have not confused me, Master Rizz. You have taught me a valuable lesson."

"Good, then let me finish!"

The father-son duo silently and anxiously tuned into Rizz's wavelength, gradually picking up on the blunt yet vital perspective the goblin offered. 

"Here's problem number three. This is the one that you've been so focused on that you abandoned problems one and two years ago. You have no visitors coming through the settlement. 

"Don't get me wrong. This is a valid problem.

"But if you focus on problems one and two, this issue you've been struggling with for years might just solve itself." 

Just as the chief felt an inkling of epiphany from the lecture, his gaze froze. He couldn't take his eyes away from Rizz's ravenous smirk or his soul-stealing stare.
