Sunders' words reminded them of something.
The threat from the Germinal Organization's believers implied that Lawson was already targeted. However, how could they be sure that the loser's arrow would hit Lawson?
There were two reasons for this.
The first reason was the mysterious nature of the arrow.
Their current understanding of the Loser's Arrow was only a vague concept. Perhaps the Loser's Arrow could ignore all external factors and accurately lock onto Lawson. Then, it could launch a long-range attack on Lawson.
After all, Mystery items could not be analyzed by normal logic. Anything could happen.
The second reason was that a Germinal Organization believer confirmed Lawson's identity and location in Floating Mech City, and contacted the archer from a long distance, which led to the current situation.
Both of these reasons had a certain degree of possibility. However, the first reason could not be considered. Therefore, Muse was more inclined to, or rather, hoped for, the second reason.
According to the Germinal Organization believer who threatened Lawson, the Germinal Organization must have mastered some kind of secret communication method that could allow them to reach Lawson from a long distance. That was why the Germinal Organization was able to find out about Lawson's expulsion.
As long as the Germinal Organization came to Floating Mech City and confirmed Lawson's identity, they could contact Lawson from a long distance and attack him.
Moreover, only the second reason would leave behind clues that would give them a chance to investigate.
Muse nodded at Sunders to thank him for the reminder. He then turned to Antonio. "Use your Rune Detector to monitor all outsiders who came to Floating Mech City yesterday and today. Maybe one of them is the culprit."
Greya suddenly spoke up. "It's possible that the Germinal Organization's believers worked together, which allowed them to hit Lawson so accurately. But how can you be sure that the Germinal Organization's informant only came to Floating Mech City recently, President Muse? Maybe this Germinal Organization believer has been hiding in Floating Mech City for a long time. "
Before Muse could say anything, Angor rejected Greya's suggestion.
"If Mayor Lawson's information was sent out by someone from the inside, then the person who sent the message couldn't have been here for a long time. They must have arrived within these two days," Angor said in a confident tone.
"How can you be sure?" Greya asked.
Instead of looking at Greya, he looked at Lawson's head. "It's simple. If they've been hiding in Floating Mech City for a long time, they would have more detailed information, especially about Mayor Lawson."
He didn't say it out loud, but Greya quickly understood when she saw Lawson's glaring eyes.
If they had been lurking for a long time, they would naturally know that half of Lawson's body was made of machinery. As long as they knew this information, the target of the Loser's Arrow would definitely be Lawson's head and not his heart.
The fact that Lawson was still alive meant that this person didn't know much about Lawson. He must have just arrived at Floating Mech City recently.
Greya nodded. She agreed with Angor's opinion.
"Look for anyone who came to Floating Mech City recently and asked about Governor Lawson. Also, keep an eye on one particular person."
"Who do you mean, Mr. Padt?"
"Swan!"
Since the Germinal Sect wanted revenge, Lawson was one of their main targets, and Swan was another. Now that they had dealt with Lawson, it was possible that they would target Swan again. Therefore, if they searched Swan's surroundings, they might be able to find some clues.
Muse nodded in agreement. "He's right. The Germinal Sect only knows about Lawson and Swan. Antonio, send a Rune Detector around Swan and her friends. See if anyone came to Floating Mech City recently. "
As soon as Muse's voice fell, Antonio nodded. The light blue spirit turned into countless light spots and disappeared from the secret room.
Once Antonio was gone, Muse nodded to Angor. "Thank you for your help. When this is over, come to the City of Floating Mech. I have something for you."
Muse didn't say it out loud, but it was clear that he was going to give Angor something.
"I'm going back to Brute Cavern today, so we'll talk about it later."
Muse was surprised. He didn't expect Angor to leave so soon. "Now that the Germinal Organization is here, Floating Mech City won't be safe for the time being. It's better if you leave now."
After pausing for a moment, Muse took out a silver gear-shaped button from the Steam Robe he was wearing.
Muse rubbed the edge of the cog-shaped button, which released a faint glow. Next, the space around the cog-shaped button rippled like water. The mini signal tower outside the cog-shaped button was covered by the ripples and slowly disappeared.
Next, Muse weighed the button in his hand and tossed it to Angor with a wave of his hand.
"The mini signal tower is in there. You can have it." Muse acted as if he didn't care at all, but the corner of his eyes twitched slightly. It could be seen that he didn't care at all.
Angor noticed Muse's concern and chuckled in his mind. He handed the button back to Muse. "That won't be necessary. I just happened to save Mayor Lawson. Besides, I was the one who told Mayor Lawson about the Germinal Organization, so I have something to do with it."
Although Muse was distressed, he still waved his hand. "Take it. I didn't just give you the signal tower as a thank you gift. You said it yourself that you had a lot to do with it, so I need to use this signal tower to contact you as soon as possible. "
"Also, the Germinal Organization isn't just about Floating Mech City. It's about the entire wizarding world. I'm giving you the signal tower so that I can use it to contact Mister Rein if I need any information. "
Muse muttered in a low voice, "Brute Cavern doesn't have a signal tower or a teleportation portal."
Angor didn't know what to say.
Angor really wanted to tell Muse that if he really wanted to contact him, he could go to his brother, Leon, at Fragrant Pavilion. After all, Leon could enter the dream wasteland.
But he decided against it. It wasn't a good idea to push Leon into the limelight.
"If I find something useful in my research, I'll return the signal tower to you," Angor said.
Muse hesitated for a moment before he realized that Angor was talking about long-distance communication. He nodded. "Alright. The department's display box is waiting for your research."
