Leaving the sect through the secret exit he had been shown by Jessica, Daneel made his way to the forest with residual energy for the third time to meet with Percy.
Just like before, he first made sure that Percy was alone from a distance before teleporting to him.
As soon as Percy saw his Master appear behind him as usual, he exclaimed, "Master! My father has left the sect on some important business! He won't be ing back for a day… It's the best time to strike!"
As Daneel saw the enthusiasm on Percy's face, if he had been the man before this revelation with the Empire spirit had taken place, he might have been inclined to directly believe the kid because of all the interactions they had had so far.
However, right now, he just couldn't do so.
For some reason, he felt that something was off, and this wasn't even any sort of paranoia that might have formed due to his recent experience and frustration.
Still, how was he supposed to verify what was true and what wasn't?
First, not wanting to arouse any suspicion in Percy, he grabbed the kid's shoulder and said, "Good job! I'll set my plan in motion… Don't worry, e dawn tomorrow, your brother will be no more. Just relax and go back to the sect. Your rewards will also soon reach you."
At the mention of the word 'rewards', Percy's eyes twinkled, just like they normally would.
Everything definitely looked normal on the surface, but again, Daneel wasn't convinced.
"Thank you, Master! I'll go back to the sect then, before anyone notices that I'm missing!"
Saying so, Percy was just about to teleport away, but Daneel tightened his grip on the kid's shoulder.
A cold look came on his face, and his eyes turned razer-sharp.
"You aren't leading me or your senior disciple into a trap, right?
