And the treatment enjoyed by their royal family must surpass our civilian standards in some respects. Since the modified can hide among their royal family, then conversely, hiding among us—at least among civilians—would pose absolutely no problem."

"Compared to us, the Epoch Clan's interior is probably the true disaster zone. After all, that is Ying's territory."

"Now that you put it that way, the inexplicable purge the organization went through some time ago seems to have an explanation. I'm afraid some high-ranking member was modified. We discussed and theorized this before: once certain critical neural hubs in the body are replaced by Nano-robots, Ying can use them to transmit false signals to the modified person's brain. In that case, the modified person could very well leak certain things without even realizing it, all while never actually betraying us."
