Chapter 50

Gene and I were both shocked by his claim.

Auriel's secret identity!?

"And are you planning to share to us his secret identity?" Gene asked.

"I might if you stay and listen long enough," Nathaniel replied with a cunning smile. "Where do I even begin? The secret society, the one he is part of is located on the top floor of a skyscraper in the city's shopping district. Its members have one common interest and that is to rise on top of society. They meet and trade information ranging from business to politics. Sometimes, they even coordinate sabotages. One might say that they have direct influence on the city's economy."

"Why is Auriel part of such a shady group?" I asked.
