St. Yves's complexion turned notably worse upon hearing this, and he whispered into Robert's ear, "You mean to tell the entirety of San Francisco that the finest steam prodigy Enfield has seen in a decade is not who they believe it to be?"
"..."
Robert bowed his head in silence.
St. Yves continued, "By the way, I've put in a request through Duke Weilang to the Pinkerton Agency: I've asked them to dispatch a thousand skilled agents trained in steam-powered solo combat into San Francisco. Led personally by President Allen Pinkerton, they will arrive tonight. Have the equipment testing department's staff receive them and, once they are here, take them to the arsenal to pick up their gear."
Robert looked utterly astonished, "That's practically a steam legion, isn't it? What are you planning to do?"
"Have you heard the rumors circulating in Chinatown lately, about the Blue Robe Emperor?"
"I haven't."
Robert shook his head.
