Footprints!
There was more than one set of footprints in the room that seemed to belong to the Ape Sect raider.
Other than the footprints from the battle through the window, there were other footprints in the room as well.
In short, it wasn't the first time the raider entered Perry Kaner's room.
If it was only the Ape Sect ambusher with the same footprints, Kieran would have guessed that the ambusher was scouting but when he noticed the same footprints of the Viper Sect ambusher, Kieran squinted his eyes.
"Are they …"
"Looking for something?"
Kieran guessed.
Then, when he walked out of the room and saw more footprints, his guesses were confirmed.
"Hiding their identity and looking for something."
Squinting his eyes, Kieran unconsciously turned around and looked at Perry Kaner's room.
Without further ado, Kieran started his search.
However, this time around, he didn't find anything until Maxim and Celty were brought in by Perry Kaner and Snake School.
"Not here?"
Kieran frowned and looked at Perry Kaner.
He didn't ask her directly though.
Kieran didn't forget his initial goal.
"Do you guys know him?"
Kieran asked when he thought of the two Raven Sect members.
"Ackerman?
"Why is he here?"
Celty cried out in shock when he saw the bloody head. He then looked at his friend who was equally shocked.
"Ackerman was once one of my competitors."
Maxim said honestly after exchanging a gaze with his friend.
"Competitor?
Crown Raven? "
Kieran asked.
"No, no, no.
Not the position of Crown Raven, it's the record keeper position in Raven Sect. Back then, he was considered my strongest competitor among all the competitors. "
Maxim explained while waving his hand.
"Which means he is considered one of the core members of Raven Sect?"
Kieran asked.
Maxim and Celty nodded in unison at the question.
This was a fact that could not be denied.
However, with such an admission, the two of them couldn't help but feel nervous.
The two of them almost subconsciously thought of the rumors in the Wolf Sect: 'In addition to being independent, the White Wolf is more temperamental!'
When faced with a character who allowed his own preferences to dictate his behavior, especially when this character was extremely powerful, everyone would feel great pressure.
Whether it was Maxim or Celty, neither of them wished to be caught in the crossfire.
Therefore, Maxim took the initiative and said, "Sir, please give me a few days. I will investigate this matter thoroughly."
"Yes."
Kieran nodded.
Maxim and Celty immediately turned around and left as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders.
The Raven Sect members almost brushed past the Duke of Zilin who arrived a little later.
Both parties nodded at each other before proceeding on their own.
"Looks like I'm really an incompetent guy."
Looking at the body, the young duke who was temporarily in charge of Warren Palace's safety couldn't help but smile bitterly.
For the young duke, after taking over the palace, such incidents happened one after another. If it wasn't for his strong heart, he would have been crushed by the setback.
"Can you tell me what happened?"
The young duke looked at Kieran and Perry Kaner.
"Tell him."
Kieran said.
Perry Kaner of Snake School spoke right away but she hid the part about Kieran's suspicions and only stated her own speculations.
"Snake School and Ape Sect?
Because of you? "
The young duke frowned when he heard what Perry Kaner of Snake School said.
As the temporary person in charge of Warren Palace, even if it was just temporary, the young duke really wanted to remove Perry Kaner of Snake School from the equation.
But …
The young duke took a glance at Kieran and sighed helplessly in his heart.
Aside from the fact that he had a favor to ask from Perry Kaner, the fact that Perry Kaner and Mary were close was enough to render him helpless.
"Okay, I got it.
I'll rearrange the soldiers in charge of defense.
Then, good night, Hon. 2567. "
"Good night, Duke Zilin."
After saying good night to each other, the young duke bowed at Kieran and left.
After Duke Zilin left, only Kieran and Perry Kaner were left.
"How did you contact Ape Sect?"
Kieran asked all of a sudden.
"I couldn't contact Ape Sect directly, I just spread some news through the underground gangs and every sect has their own people who pay attention to the news."
Perry Kaner answered.
Perry Kaner of Snake School didn't ask Kieran for the specific speculations.
She knew her identity.
She knew what to ask and what not to ask.
"Em."
Kieran didn't doubt Perry Kaner's words.
He was confident that Perry Kaner wouldn't lie to him.
Of course, even so, Kieran didn't really share the speculations that he had just made with the man.
Perry Kaner could only be considered a passable collaborator.
As for the others?
Kieran would never consider them.
Therefore, Kieran said straightforwardly.
"I need to know some secret knowledge about Snake School."
"Very well, my lord."
Perry Kaner nodded without a second thought.
If Perry Kaner hadn't realized her identity as an abandoned pawn, she would have hesitated and needed time to consider Kieran's request.
Now, she wouldn't even think about it.
Perry Kaner had nothing but hatred for the Snake School that treated her as an abandoned pawn and slaughtered her comrades.
A hatred that was as thick as a blazing flame!
Perry Kaner already had her own plans on how to take revenge on Snake School.
She would borrow Kieran's power!
That's right, she would borrow the power of others.
Before she was strong enough, Perry Kaner didn't mind borrowing external power, similar to how an assassin would borrow the help of tools and shadows.
Therefore, Perry Kaner would fulfill Kieran's request unconditionally.
Even if it was a request that was too much.
Unfortunately, Kieran spent the whole night learning the secret knowledge about Snake School and didn't reveal any other intentions. Even when Perry Kaner initiated a few times, it was the same. She even incurred Kieran's displeasure, forcing her to focus on teaching.
Perry Kaner was shocked by Kieran's learning ability.
She was sure Kieran had never come into contact with the secret knowledge of Snake School before but a few hours later, Kieran had grasped the basics.
One needed to know that Perry Kaner spent a few months to reach this level.
"Is this the difference between humans?"
Perry Kaner said unconsciously.
"We are different."
They were indeed different. With Pro level [Mystical Knowledge], Kieran didn't just comprehend by analogy when he learned similar mystical knowledge, he even had a strategic advantage.
[Through learning and teaching, acquire a large amount of Mystical Knowledge. Snake School …]

…
Kieran nodded in satisfaction when he saw the new notifications. He greeted Perry Kaner before standing up and heading out.
He didn't go back to his room though.
Although Kieran was eager to use [Essentials of Snake School Secret Technique Record], he didn't forget what the two impersonators came for last night.
He might not know.
