Inside the office in Yook City.
Su Xiao set down the confidential documents delivered that morning. Things had gotten on track. Aiqi had successfully joined the investigation into the "Thornflower Newspaper Bombing," so he would probably meet that white-haired boy soon.
"What exactly are you doing?"
Hunter Tide picked up the confidential documents from the table and looked them over. The situation was too complicated, and she knew far too little, leaving her completely bewildered.
"Let this great lord explain it to you."
Baja cleared his throat and began explaining. It was actually quite simple. Su Xiao and Kingsley were competing over the mermaid, but things had not yet reached the point where the two sides would fight directly.
Aiqi represented Su Xiao's side, while the white-haired boy represented Kingsley's. Moreover, neither Aiqi nor the white-haired boy knew anything about this.
Aiqi and the white-haired boy were about to form a team to investigate the "Thornflower Newspaper Bombing." Starting from there, they would learn that the mermaid had appeared. Under Su Xiao and Kingsley's covert manipulation, Aiqi and the white-haired boy's team would go search for and capture the mermaid.
The white-haired boy possessed the trait of a World Child (Pseudo). With the augmentation of World Power, his chances of capturing the mermaid were not high, but they were not especially low either.
One World Child (Pseudo) was not enough. What about two World Children (Pseudo)?
Su Xiao had a fragment of the Eater in his possession, and that fragment was directly connected to Aiqi. That morning, Su Xiao had placed a Seed of Destiny into the glass bottle containing the Eater fragment, allowing the fragment to slowly devour it.
