"The sudden intervention of the Songxing Secret Sect, although it seems to be their independent action, we all understand that this incident must be inevitably linked with the Marquis' behind-the-scenes manipulations."
Watching the Duke's expression change unpredictably, Anvis finally spoke his mind.
"So, if the Marquis can invite the Alien God Sect to intervene, why can't we bring the Truth Circle into the equation as well?"
"...You should understand, Anvis, that the organizational interests of the Truth Circle are fundamentally irreconcilable with those of us who rule the Empire, and they are destined to stand against us in the future."
After a long silence, Duke Carrot finally spoke.
Anvis's "Mirror Man" identity was not unknown to him. Back in the Federation, Anvis had even asked him to secretly take action to help him take down the capital of the Rock Helmet Kingdom.
But he hadn't expected Anvis to play such a high-stakes game, even personally joining the Truth Circle!
