Back then, the clash between Xander Cook and Hagan Marsh was orchestrated entirely by Julius Reed.
Incidentally, he also blew up the Towering Vine plantation jointly cultivated by Isabella Warm and Hagan Marsh in Ox Town.
Coming to Swimming City, Julius wanted to uncover the truth behind the fake Divine Dragon Tripod from that year.
Another purpose was to meet Isabella Warm.
Back in the Shadow Gate days, Isabella Warm had used Tyler Thomas to pass him a message, and a few days ago, Devlin's ascent to the Unbeatable Divine Hall marked her second subtle signal.
At the Ghost Market, the two made their first phone call in four years.
Even though there was no response on the line, Julius was certain Isabella was listening.
The necessary words had already been spoken.
As for the truth, it would be revealed one day.
Now, with Xander Cook's trial, the City Lord and various factions were bound to appear.
Julius hoped to use this opportunity to meet the City Lord.
