Hill thought seriously for a while and decided to act as if he hadn't figured anything out.
Many things, once he got involved, could end up taking a strange direction.
This was a battle of wits between Shaer and the Undead Tribe… Didn't you notice that she was using her own methods to deduce the movement patterns of the Undead Tribe, without even considering asking anyone else?
Of course, Shaer and William's enterprises were inherently separate, and they basically wouldn't inquire the other party about their own goals.
But Shaer hadn't even considered testing someone like Hill, who had a close relationship with the Undead Tribe.
This Lady of Darkness seemed to have changed a lot, but in reality, she only compromised on matters related to William.
Hill silently reminded himself: Shaer's friendliness towards him was only with regard to matters concerning William, and her kindness only extended to situations that didn't involve her own interests. He mustn't overestimate himself.
