While Kieran waited, his mind started to bring up pictures of his first meeting with Allen and the encounters that followed after that.
The more he thought, the more he realized there were a lot of suspicious points about Allen.
Broker might not be able to deal with Allen right now because of some matters but what about before?
Why didn't Broker make his move against the pesky troublemaker?
Kieran didn't believe Broker was a merciful man and there were only two reasons why he didn't do it.
First, there was someone else powerful behind Allen. The person must be someone that Broker dreaded, hence he didn't make the move.
Second, Allen was… Broker's subordinate all along.
Broker used Allen to attract attention, gathering all the others who showed dissatisfaction against him, then slowly "consumed" them.
