However, since Shade had yet to mention the most crucial matter, Wei Ge did not offer her opinion on the [Demon Eye Club]. Shade soon spoke of the goals Miss Pawo had mentioned regarding the [Blood Spirit School] and the [Saint Alliance], before finally saying:
"My old friend said she also came here to find a former defector from an organization. That person was originally an elite member of the [Truth Society], later sent here to infiltrate the Alchemy Association, but subsequently lost contact with the [Truth Society]."
Wei Ge's expression had already changed somewhat. She blinked, as though she had not immediately understood what Shade meant.
"So?"
"She said that defector possessed a one-of-a-kind ring, its face a triangle enclosing an eye. That ring is still in the box, isn't it?"
Wei Ge blinked again, and Shade could clearly feel the hand clasped in his tightening.
But before she could speak, she began coughing violently. Shade had never seen Wei Ge cough so severely. He held out his hand to her, but the witch did not bite it. Instead, trembling, she took a small bottle of Blood Brew essence from her pocket and gulped down a large mouthful.
"Mother, Mother, Mother used to be a member of the [Truth Society]?!"
"For now, that is only speculation. Perhaps the ring was merely a souvenir she confiscated."
Even Shade did not quite believe what he was saying. Relics preserved in such a manner were most likely items Lady Le May had used herself.
"Also, my friend in the [Truth Society] said that the defector she was looking for was codenamed 'Baroness.' Supposedly, her ancestors came from the Derainore court, making her a descendant of a collateral branch of the old kingdom's royal bloodline."
Wei Ge looked at Shade, breathing very rapidly.
