Timing
Since he wasn't allowed to enter the library and most of the other facilities, Michael chose to stroll through Piloq for a while.
He wasn't bored or anything like that, but he wanted to talk a little bit with Kraft Viton.
Michael asked Kraft Viton a few questions using his low mastery of Whispering Energy to ensure that the conversation between them remained a secret.
"You volunteered to accompany me to analyze the Zeus family's interactions in the Tritan Alliance, or am I wrong?" Michael asked straightforwardly, slowing down to make sure that he and Kraft Viton walked next to each other.
It didn't take a genius to understand that Kraft Viton was not Helen Ascaln's subordinate. If anything, Helen Ascaln was Kraft Viton's subordinate. However, Michael never understood why a high-ranked member of the Bartholomew Corporation would accompany him to the Battle Exchange. It didn't really make any sense –especially if it was just to protect him.
