After Erika and Cole died, many people began speculating who the masked man was, why he did something like that, who Mira and Maria were, and what was going to happen now. At least, that's how it was for the smaller Sects, Clans, and Families.
The top 7 Orthodox all knew that it was someone from the Unorthodox Faction who did all this, and if they were to take Cole's last words as truth, it wasn't just a single Sect or small group of people like this.
No, the entire Unorthodox Faction was in on it!
However, the question then was: why?
Why were they targeting two people they'd never heard of before?
Then, there was the question of who Sue Ming was. They'd never heard of this person before either, but from Cole's words, she somehow seemed to be tied to the Unorthodox Faction.
