Huxiro joined the Sun Gate squad because he still couldn't tell whether what President Rogsh had said was true.
The library on the twelfth floor of the headquarters of the Magic Association fell quiet again. Su Xiao's thumb slowed for a moment as it touched the screen, and the puzzle game's display turned black and white. The character he controlled was strangled to death by a monster covered in long fur, blood splattering everywhere.
Su Xiao put away the game terminal and turned his gaze to Huxiro, then to Aineer, Huxiro's younger sister.
It wasn't difficult to determine whether President Rogsh's words were true. First, it was highly likely that he had touched the Dark Mask, and there was nothing suspicious about that contact being passed down to the siblings.
Based on those two pieces of reliable information, many things could be inferred. For example, President Rogsh desperately wanted the Dark Mask—no less desperately than Father did.
From the current situation, obtaining the Dark Mask required passing through the Sun Gate first. The Dark Mask should be beyond the gate, which meant that all five "keys" were needed.
That was the crucial point. Regardless of anything else, Huxiro had delivered a key: the "Flame of the Heart."
The female arcane mage Huxiro had stuffed into a large sack had secretly followed him with several other arcane mages a few days ago. Huxiro had discovered them, killed all the others, and left only the female arcane mage alive.
That female arcane mage had been deliberately sent out by President Rogsh to lure Huxiro over. The reason was that Huxiro had already obtained the "Flame of the Heart" by then.
President Rogsh understood Huxiro very well. As long as Huxiro saw the female arcane mage's face, he would definitely fight his way
