If Adam was being honest with himself, then he was genuinely flabbergasted by how things had played out.
Yes, at first, he had planned to guide Lebu slowly, feeding him vague fragments of information, letting him connect the dots and eventually realize that Nilrem was part of the new mysterious group responsible for killing two Councilors.
He was already aware of the Brotherhood's theory about a mysterious hidden faction that dealt with the traitorous Councilors and even sowed division among the remaining traitors.
His plan had been simple: give credibility to the Brotherhood's theory and turn a lie into the truth.
But even he hadn't guessed Lebu to hit the mark on his very first attempt. Either he had seriously underestimated Lebu's capabilities, or Lebu was a full-fledged conspiracy theorist!
Adam honestly didn't know.
What… what the fuck is going on?! He thought to himself, the corner of his lips twitching.
This isn't how I planned for things to unfold!
