In a guest room on the third floor of the inn, Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed. From what had just happened, he had figured out one thing: Melos had most likely kidnapped the previous goddess not because he was in love with her or wanted to force her into marriage.
Melos's origins couldn't be simple if he had been stationed at the Kodo School's branch in the old Royal Capital for so many years. That was also why Su Xiao had chosen to cooperate with him.
