"How's the progress on Xander's assistant?"
"He's a dead end too, Master Elijah. Levi Stanley doesn't seem too ordinary himself. He started following Dr. Xander before he made a big na for himself. Mr. Stanley used to be Dr. Xander's supervisor and right after the appearance of M, he volunteered himself as Dr. Xander's assistant."
"That was a very risky move at the ti due to the lack of information on M. That, and Dr. Xander was only at the young age of 16, with no real achievents. Now, people can only say that the early bird caught the worm."
"Now Mr. Stanley is the assistant of the youngest departnt head in the International dical Association."
"It can be said that from the people we know of, Mr. Stanley was the closest spectator during the rise of both Dr. Xander and M with the exception of the two people themselves."
"If it weren't for the fact that he seems to be most loyal to Dr. Xander, he would have been the perfect target."
"But the one scary thing is that he seems to have undying trust in Dr. Xander. Mr. Stanley's already loyally served him as his right-hand man for 9 years."
"There are also various suspicious points about him."
"His loyalty being the most suspicious one."
"What are you insinuating Liam?" Elijah asked.
"Don't you find it strange that this man, who was in a relatively high position for his age, was willing to give up his job and be demoted to a re assistant for a teenager who had no real achievents? At that ti, even we wouldn't be able to tell if M was the real deal or not."
"Continue."
"Yes. I suspect that Mr. Stanley may be one of M's people who he planted next to Xander, to both watch and assist him."
Elijah pondered for a bit.
"Tell the results you have from the tails."
"Throughout the week he is always following around Dr. Xander, and when he isn't, he's running errands. On his one day off, he spent the whole day walking around idly. He went to multiple comics and novel's stores but spent most of his ti on his phone. It's as if he was trying to throw us off. Not that he can't read novels, but his other actions are rather suspicious." Assistant Liam was already nearing the end of his report, so he was giving his personal opinion on the matter right now.
"It is suspicious. Perhaps he already knew he was being followed. Or perhaps that is simply his own hobby," Elijah turned his chair around to look outside the window of his office in the secret headquarters.
The outside was a piece of a vast forest and from afar, you could see the continuation of the mountain range that his secret headquarters was neighboring.
Most of this structure was underground, but his office was one with an outside view. The whole building was impossible to find as it was embedded within the mountain. The entrance was also hidden within the vast spans of the surrounding trees.
"Contact Master Giovanni and ask for his help. His apprentices are really helping him lose face." Elijah decisively decided that he was going to use this Grand Master, or else he would be wasting resources.
"Sloth said that he didn't seem like he was going to co out of seclusion any ti soon."
Elijah handed Assistant Liam a file that had been placed on his desk.
"Put the plan in motion. He'll have to co out of seclusion. Or he'll have no more face left to salvage."
