Initially, Vale wanted to eliminate the members of this syndicate because he wanted to take vengeance for what they did to the old watchmaker.
However, after hearing the question from the bald man, he thought of delaying his plans and asked.
"Who ordered you to take the golden pocketwatch a couple of years ago?" Vale asked.
This bald man may not be the person who killed the watchmaker and chased after him but it was his people who did it. Those people he ordered may not be aware of the reason why they needed the pocketwatch. However, the leader must know everything.
As expected, as soon as Vale asked this question, the man stiffened as he realized the seriousness of the situation.
"Pocketwatch? Two years ago…" The leader ruminated as he realized what was going on.
