Thinking of this, Brando couldn't help glancing at Bai's phantom beside him.
..
What exactly is this woman's agenda?
She seemed impatient to fight the Emperor of Madara herself. Although she claimed it was to help him obtain the Nature Orb and Mercury Staff, Brando, who had been deceived too many times already, did not believe a word of it.
"Then what is your motive...?"
He recalled the scene he had witnessed when leaving the Elemental Barrier: Bai's soul had merged into the strange constructs suspended in the sky dozens of kilometers above Vonder, arranged in an equally strange formation.
Her current state was clearly related to what had happened then.
Earlier, when he had obtained power from the Elemental Orbs, he had distinctly sensed that the authority came from the Tiamat Law and Martha. That was why he had once suspected that she had seized Martha's authority, because those strange constructs had clearly been part of the Tiamat Law.
Bai, however, had denied it, though he could not confirm whether that denial was the truth.
"What?"
Bai noticed Brando's gaze but did not seem to care much. "Are you still suspicious of me?"
"It's hard not to be." Brando kept an eye on the Undead's movements as he spoke. What puzzled him was that although the Undead Army had surrounded them completely, it had refused to attack for a long time. This was completely unlike the temperament of the Emperor he knew.
In his impression, she should have been an extremely decisive person.
"I can tell you the truth," Bai replied, "but you must answer one question for me."
"Making sure that the truth a lady provides is actually the truth isn't simple." Remembering how she had repeatedly deceived him in the Elemental Barrier, Brando could not help sneering.
