After hearing Lizi's account, Angel found himself leaning toward her conjecture as well.
Indeed, considering the circumstances of the time, Xiadia might truly have been a spy sent by another organization.
"Then who do you think she was spying for?" Angel asked.

Any organization not managed by the Fashion Guild could have sent spies.
Thus, it was still quite difficult to determine which organization Xiadia had been spying for.
