Brando finally met Arona in a side hall.
Arona came in looking preoccupied and plopped down in a chair... He was worried about Feis.
They had agreed to meet ahead of time. The other eight Sword-Keepers had already arrived, but Feis was still absent. When asked, he actually said he was communicating with Hua Country, trying to find a peaceful solution to the inspection within its borders in April, and might not be able to attend the Pilgrimage Assembly.
The other Sword-Keepers were unhappy about this, but they could find no fault with it. His explanation was indeed reasonable and well-founded. After all, it concerned the Nature Disruptor.
Nothing involving aliens was trivial. Since they had already decided to flirt with the Disruptor, they naturally had to handle things carefully.
"What is it, Brando?" Arona asked, also catching sight of the Light Sword beside him.
Standing more than thirty meters away below the dais, Brando looked up. "Sword-Keeper, this concerns the rebels. I have to warn you again... Luo Yan is going to rebel!"
Arona said calmly, "You've said that more than once. He leads the Double Pupils Faction, and his influence is deeply entrenched, reaching into every corner of the organization..."
"But this time is different!" Brando said.
Arona sounded interested. "Do you have solid evidence?"
Brando pressed his lips together. "I will soon!"
"Soon?" Arona settled back into his chair and smiled. "Well, how about this? If you really aren't afraid of making mortal enemies of the Morgan Family, just use the Light Sword Feis gave you and kill him."
The implication was: Why the hell are you talking without evidence? If you hate him that much, go kill him. You have the Light Sword, after all. You don't actually need evidence.
But how could Brando kill indiscriminately
