People were still suspicious.
They didn't know why Ming Hong hadn't possessed Audrey after he had swallowed Singh. He let Audrey's host soul stay. It was against his common sense.
With his power after swallowing Singh, he could become the leading soul of the seven brutal souls. If he could take Audrey's body, even though he couldn't get back to his peak of power, at least he could regain his freedom. He wouldn't be bound to this woman.
This made them think a lot.
But they knew one thing: From now on, Audrey was the brutal souls' new master. The souls that Singh had spent years refining were now her fortune.
As long as Audrey wasn't really ignorant, she had the potential to one day reach Singh's level when he was still alive. If Audrey had excellent innate talent, she was going to progress fast and it was going to be hard to predict her future attainment.
