Lucian and Rosa looked at each other. Of course, they knew who the Owner was, only they didn't get the chance to be acquainted with him, so they didn't know his face.
"If you don't mind me asking," the Owner started, "but where is that halfbreed's master?"
Cecily restrained a gasp. If she knew that she would stumble with the Owner while on their mission, she should have changed Ryu's appearance. But what were the odds of meeting him in this vast sea? It was close to zero.
But here they were . . .
Kai was observing the situation on the side and decided to close his lips. Cecily was Ryu's master, and based on the Owner, he knew who Cecily was. It could either be that Ryu's seal was transferred or that Cecily was hiding her appearance.
If it was the latter, then there was a big chance that Kai stumbled on a secret, and he sweats buckets. Would Lucian and the others let him live after this? He wondered.
