“I'll give you the compensation you selected when we meet next time for the expo. Do take care on your way back,” ended Lan Fei.1

Done with their conversation with Lan Fei, Se-Hoon looked at Luize as they left the main building of the Department of Hextech.0

“Okay, now…”0

“Come with me for a second.”0

Stopping him from saying anything, Luize grabbed Se-Hoon’s wrist and pulled him into a nearby, secluded alley. She then looked at him with her arms crossed.2

“What's all this being a staff member at the expo about? And don't you even think about giving me some half-baked excuse!”0

With how well Luize knew Se-Hoon, his reasoning for participating in the expo was definitely not just to steal some technology from big companies. She could sense there was something more, so she narrowed her eyes and stared down Se-Hoon, who had fallen into deep thought.0

Where should I start…?0

It was a bit awkward to explain the Ten Evils or Watchers to others, but since Luize was already entangled with Dawn, Se-Hoon deemed that it should be okay to be more open with her.0

Thus he made up his mind and began to explain step by step, starting with the incident with the Black Arms. 0

And after Luize had listened to it all, she was utterly flabbergasted.0

“They're really planning to attack here?”0

“I don’t have any concrete evidence yet, but the timing is just too perfect to be a coincidence."0

“Hmm…”0

As Luize thought deeply about Se-Hoon’s story, she suddenly thought up one crucial fact so she asked, “But wouldn't it be fine as long as the Chairman is around?”0

The reason Babel was safe from external attacks was not just because of the advanced technology and the presence of high-ranking heroes—it was the existence of the Chairman of Babel: the Emperor of Ascension Ludwig.0

So could someone really launch a surprise attack on Babel, with Ludwig present, without any forewarning? That doubt was the main driver...0
