It was too coincidental!
Until that Kieran didn’t need Nikorei’s affirmative answer and he already suspected that the situation was fishy.
After Boller’s timely interruption, Kieran figured out more about it.
Boller was pretending to need his help, but he was actually there to monitor Kieran’s every move.
Otherwise, Fenkes would not have reappeared in such a timely manner.
Yet there was one other thing that surprised Kieran. Fenkes had known that the Dark Star Society would need him to open the bronze coffin.
"Is it because Fenkes touched the bronze coffin and discovered some of its secrets? Or did Gilfren Hatch leave behind some clues for him?"
Kieran made guesses silently, but his eyes were locked on the corridor. Suddenly, Fenkes entered.
He was covered in dust, and his face and manner made him look very exhausted.
One could tell just by taking a glance at the old man that he had been through a rough time recently.
