Zein thought they were done talking about the incident or the spiteful clan, but as the car climbed through the winding road to the peak of the hill, Bassena suddenly muttered with narrowed eyes.
"I think...there's someone...or some force behind the Vaski and the Golden Viper," the esper said, biting his cheek to suppress his anxiety.
"What...like a sponsor?" Zein responded with a raised brow. "Like with Trinity and Mortix?"
"Yeah..."
Zein glanced at the esper, trying to figure out the reason behind Bassena's concern. Did the esper think that even with the Golden Viper gone and the remnant of the Vaskis driven away from the Eastern Federation, the sponsor might still try to find the vessel?
