Guan Tong could tell that the Solloma king had other intentions in doing this, probably planning to make something of Shadow's special identity.
Perhaps he even had a little scheme to sow discord. After all, countries around the world generally believed that Shadow was a North Star Person. Beixing Nation and the Solloma Empire had been openly and covertly competing since before the Apocalypse Rules, and after entering the age of rules, their conflict had not eased. Instead, their secret rivalry had only intensified.
But Guan Tong did not care. Collecting all five fragments and completing the puzzle was what he needed, and for that, he could accept this commission.
As for what the Solloma king wanted him to help with, he did not know. But without needing to say it, the other side should understand that if they wanted him to murder, commit arson, or do other evil deeds, he would definitely refuse.
He replied to the Original Person through private messages, agreeing to the deal.
After that, he replied to the Countermeasure Research Institute's account, clearly stating that the attack on Lado and the others had nothing to do with him.
As for whether the authorities believed him, he did not know. Everything required evidence. If someone wanted to hold him responsible without producing evidence, he certainly would not accept that either.
After some time passed, both sides replied to him.
The official account said they would continue investigating and would not jump to conclusions unless there was conclusive evidence.
The Original Person replied that the commission had been posted.
Guan Tong entered the commission section and indeed found a newly posted commission related to this matter.
