"Who says intelligence can only be obtained from Benjamin?"
"Claus knows quite a bit as well."
"The way to clear this copy is to kill all the traitors."
"Basically... it means killing everyone except for Benjamin, Tan Juan Geraint, and John. Although in the first cycle, Annan did see a very small number of 'loyal subjects', they were really too few."
"And in the second cycle, they all died from an unidentified AOE by Benjamin."
"If they were all wiped out cleanly, and Claus also died... the copy would be forced to clear."
"Annan would then be unable to continue asking Benjamin those questions."
"—However, Annan didn't plan to spare Claus's life for extensive questioning either."
"Because he was too dangerous."
"Having witnessed so many Transcendents, Annan fully understood just how dangerous a silver-ranked Transcendent could be."
