Chapter 800: Pilot
Durandal perhaps felt that he had already gained an understanding of Orb's current situation, so he took the initiative to bid Xiao Ran farewell. He also told Xiao Ran that although LOGOS's existence had been confirmed, they still needed to further determine LOGOS's exact structure and the identities of its members. That would take time if they wanted to wipe out LOGOS in one fell swoop, so Xiao Ran did not need to rush his preparations.
