[Speaking of which, did you tell Bai Shishi and the other two? Did they manage to escape?]
Lucian fired question after question, leaving no room for Nyx to explain. Only after silence resumed, it rolled its two compound eyes and replied, [I did attempt to tell you, but you were busy. Moreover, Bai Shishi now knows, but he's stuck and has no choice but to go forward. Don't worry, I gave him a perfect plan — to go through with the trade and leave. But that is beside the point. If the bandit the employee talked to makes it to the trade location, our plan to enslave the Warring Sharks will be ruined.]
Lucian's frown deepened.
[Why's that?]
Suspicion flickered in Lucian's eyes. What Nyx was telling him did not add up. He and Lily were unknown, insignificant non-Mages. They had not shown any of their cards, so how could his plan be ruined if the bandit made it to the trade location?
[What are you hiding?] Lucian asked suspiciously.
