Inside the office, Su Xiao chewed on a Soul Crystal. In front of him, two men in black knelt on one knee. They were members of the 'Ears.'
"I understand. You may leave."
After hearing the two men in black's report, Su Xiao waved them away, indicating that they could leave.
"Yes."
The two members of the Ears withdrew, leaving only Su Xiao and Baja on the office's second floor.
An incident had occurred just an hour ago. The Devourer's host, Aiqi, had run into the (Pseudo) Child of the World raised by Kingsley in Garman City.
At this critical juncture, Kingsley's pawn had arrived in Garman City. His purpose was obvious: to temper that pawn and have him participate in the matter of the Mermaid.
The only way to get involved in the Mermaid incident in Garman City was through the bombing of the Thornflower Newspaper.
If Su Xiao's guess was correct, Kingsley had not directly ordered the white-haired youth around. The white-haired youth might not even know that Kingsley was the one plotting everything from behind the scenes.
From the white-haired youth's perspective, everything was shrouded in fog. But with Su Xiao's identity and position, he already had a general understanding of what was happening.
First, Kingsley had given the white-haired youth a motivation. It might have been the mystery of his origins, or perhaps the search for and rescue of a family member.
Then he had let the white-haired youth roam free. Now that he had been left to his own devices for long enough, Kingsley had him take action.
The first thing he had to do was investigate the bombing of the Thornflower Newspaper. If the white-haired youth truly was a useful pawn, there was a high probability he would discover that the incident was connected
