According to Lily, Bronning had needed her services throughout many recent evenings, but on the night of his death, he did not ask for her company and instead went to sleep in the room by himself.
It was as if he had already known he would die that night.
In other circumstances, this might have been considered a coincidence, but in the Foreign Domain, and especially since Bronning was under the influence of Taoist Crane Cry's power, it definitely indicated some form of extraordinary interference.
"Did he say anything else to you that night?"
Shia asked.
"No... He just told me not to disturb him, very sternly."
Lily answered, appearing quite perplexed.
"Were you very frightened?"
Stone noticed the look in Lily's eyes and inquired.
"I don't know... Mr. Gaude is dead too, and we can't leave now. The person who killed Mr. Gaude, will he kill us as well? No, others want to kill me too, you have to save me..."
