Chapter 815: Entry
As he waited, scenes began surfacing in Qin Ran's mind, from the first time he met the other man to every subsequent encounter.
The more he thought about it, the more suspicious details he found about the man.
Broker was currently unable to spare the effort to deal with Allen because of something.
But what about before?
Before he entered the Underground Game?
Why had Broker not acted?
Qin Ran did not believe Broker was the merciful type.
There were only two possibilities for why Broker had not done so.
First, Allen had someone backing him as well.
That person made Broker deeply wary, so he had not acted.
Second, Allen was... Broker's man.
Broker had used Allen to draw attention, gathering together those dissatisfied with him and gradually "wearing them down."
After all, Allen was a vengeful man the world saw as a lunatic. It was perfectly normal for him to do something reckless, such as attacking one of Broker's bases.
And naturally, the loss of personnel was normal as well.
But it would not be easy for Broker and Allen to accomplish this.
The players in the Underground Game were no fools. If the two were merely putting on an act, it would inevitably be exposed quickly.
So...
"Is someone else working with Allen?"
"Someone who publicly claimed to think highly of Allen, and who carried enough weight that every Entry Rank player believed Broker would be wary of them!"

An Entry Rank player like Rachel would surely know.
Unfortunately, she was not online.
After temporarily entrusting the tavern to Lawless, Rachel had already been gone for several days.
