The five men had discussed every possible scenario they could think of and they were still no closer to a resolution. Adelaide was sitting at her father's side, her face lined with tears.
"What you're suggesting just doesn't make sense," Gwon-wi was arguing. "If it wasn't Hisoka, where is he now?"
"I don't know," Tamash? admitted.
"I still can't understand why you suspect Hisoka," Adelaide said. "Okay, it's suspicious that he's gone but... what don't I know?"
The others looked at Arvin, hoping that he would explain.
"We believe he was given orders by Princess Ji."
"What possible reason would Ji have to hurt..." She never finished her sentence, realisation hitting her. "Oh, Mofa."
Usually, Arvin would chastise his daughter for taking the name of the temple in vain but today he didn't.
"We suspect that she is trying to keep control of Laoshi."
"But why do you think Hisoka is involved?"
"Did he ever tell you how his parents died?"
