Yo Momma
The Great Serpent Cultivation School cannot make an obvious move against the Mayor, who is part of the Empire. They have no choice but to use someone else to achieve their goals.
And that person is the beggar, Apollo Leone.
However, to his surprise, what's happening now aligns perfectly with his goal—to uncover Klown's plans.
"So, I'm going to be your puppet then?" Apollo asked, feigning reluctance.
"No," Axton shook his head. "You're doing this as part of being my Personal Disciple. Your status is completely different from the other Martial Students, who are fully tied to the school."
Apollo 'thought' for a moment before nodding. "I can investigate. The information I gather will help with the request to the Main School?"
"Indeed," Axton nodded with a smile, impressed by how quickly his disciple caught on. He hadn't even gone into detail, yet Yoma had figured it out on his own.
"Alright, I'll do it," Apollo agreed.
