She already knew that Kitagawa had broken free of Dragon Vanquisher Sage's control. She even knew more about other things than the monk, though she couldn't just blurt it out now.

It must be noted that Dragon Vanquisher Sage had cast the same seal on all the core executives of Joyous Palace, placing their lives under this monk's control. If they knew that there were means to undo that seal and free them from the monk's control, it was very likely for them to have other thoughts in mind.
Dragon Vanquisher Sage shot a look at the mysterious golden-masked man and said in a cold voice, "You had better be able to reap the lives of Kitagawa and Hidari after the battle begins. I must squeeze out the method they used to undo my seal from them!"
