Mu Guang genuinely had some doubts. What exactly was inside this guy's head? He had seized such a huge mineral deposit from Digital Phantom and still wanted to negotiate... Even if he had pinned it on someone else, that would at least count as passing intelligence.

Naturally, people were responsible for that entire process
