"?" Panic flashed across Eleven's beautiful, androgynous face. He prostrated himself again, his voice trembling. "Your Eminence, why would you say such a thing?"
"??? The Shadow Assassin wasn't…"
"That one… was assassinating Your Eminence's subordinate. He was apprehended by Your Eminence and deserves a thousand deaths! However, we never had any intention of threatening Your Eminence's life." Eleven's voice was sincere, as if… he were telling the complete truth.
Chu Bamboo almost believed him.
'?' 'Seriously, dude? You don't have to lie so blatantly...' Chu Bamboo had a sudden realization.
'Right, he just established the Time Club in the real world!'
'That means Eleven and the others might have only been influenced in this timeline…'
'Maybe in the previous timelines, the Shadow Assassin really did want to kill me…'
'But in this worldline's situation, maybe he was just killing my subordinate and got caught by me?'
'Uh…'
'My brain's gone numb.'
