The news the Mengsheng Clan Leader brought back was interesting.
"That kid Luo Geng asked me," he said, his face grim, "'Is your King a Clan Leader?'"
Xi Yadu had not yet become the Executioner Clan Leader, so the answer was "no."
However, there were only three Clan Leaders in the Inner Tower faction, so the odds of the King being a Clan Leader were one in five. Why would Luo Geng ask a question with such a low chance of being right?
Unlike before the mission began, everyone had warmed up to Milady after they fought a battle against a common enemy. When she fell silent, the younger brother of the Huiqi Family asked bluntly, "Hey, what are you thinking about? Our next move?"
"Unlike us, the Outer Tower faction got a clue about the King." Under everyone's gaze, Milady said slowly, "Their question means that their clue led them to believe there's a high probability the King is a Clan Leader."
