Giveon's expression flickered before he calmed down. 

The timing seemed almost ridiculous. Amie had only just left. The odds of her being intercepted so quickly made this smell of conspiracy. 

His gaze scanned across the room of individuals with him and couldn't help but linger on Ryu for a bit longer. Could it really be that this Vice Team Leader of his had already betrayed them? 

Giveon shook his head inwardly. That idea was even more absurd than Amie being intercepted so swiftly. 

Why would Ryu go through so much trouble just to put his position in jeopardy the moment he got it?

If he wanted to sabotage them, just keeping the Spritual Root to himself would have been effective as well. Was there a need to use such roundabout methods?
