Before Xia arrived here, Russell had already discussed with Cold Water.
This Miss Penguin, who seemed delicate and exquisite, had a very clear mind.
From the beginning, she knew that seeking external help was something that couldn't be kept secret.
Therefore, she prepared another excuse:
— that was Russell.
Since the involvement of the Special Execution Department was apparent, it also indicated...the cousin "Russell" that Xia and she had discussed many times would be involved as well.
So, if she got acquainted with Russell first, and then let Xia see all this... Xia would think that it was Cold Water who had found Russell to protect them.
Although Xia disliked Director Dodgson, she did not dislike Russell.
The same thing, if done by Dodgson, she would definitely be displeased, but if it was Russell... the result would be different.
