Traitor!
Possibly still in Swimming City.
When Julius Reed finished reading the notes and realized that the Divine Dragon Tripod he had lost years ago was a forgery,
a stream of memories slowly began to surface in his mind.
He vaguely remembered, having instructed Isabella Warm to deliberately lose the Divine Dragon Tripod behind the backs of the other three maids.
And downstream, someone was there to receive it.
To take the fake Divine Dragon Tripod away, secretly, as planned.
Where exactly it was to be sent, Julius Reed couldn't recall clearly.
He was a man with a strong sense of purpose; he had orchestrated this personally, so it must have been of significance.
And unmistakably, that person had betrayed him.
Wanting to claim the Divine Dragon Tripod for themselves.
In those brief and blurry memories, Julius Reed remembered that even Isabella Warm did not know the tripod was fake!
The only one privy to the truth was himself.
