"God..."
Miss Ai listened to Han Su and asked quietly, "So, have you already discovered something?"
"Yes!"
Han Su spoke softly. "That person had us completely cornered just now. We were suffering and desperate. We knew his plan, but had no way to resist. But there was one thing I understood, and that... Ms. Shen understood too. That's why she did everything she could to leave behind the Crystal Matrix."
"That Grotesque Doctor is using me."
"At least I know he's using me as bait—and that I may be the only bait. Perhaps that's enough."
"..."
"Indeed. Knowing his goal and what he needs to carry out his plan means we can do a lot."
Miss Ai agreed. "Still, we should organize the information each of us has."
"No time to waste. Let's share what we know."
Han Su agreed, then asked, "What are you planning to do about Xu Ji's ascension ceremony to become Grand Duke?"
His mind was in turmoil, but he had to stay calm. If Xu Ji really could take the Grand Duke's Position, the benefits would be unimaginable.
After all, it was nominally one of the twelve greatest powers in the world, representing authority over the entire world.
But Xu Ji had come from a Tier 2 City and had no foundation here. How difficult would it be for him to rise above the many heirs of the Marquis families in Linyuan City and become a Duke who stood above them all?
Forget the Golden Cell descendants who had yet to suffer any losses—the Marquises and Counts. Even Han Su, who wasn't surnamed Xu, found it hard to accept Xu Ji. The ceremony was bound to be difficult to carry out.
Unexpectedly, when Miss Ai mentioned it, her tone was relaxed. "I've already made arrangements."
