After sending Li Ming away, Jesaya couldn't help but ask, "Why would he agree to work for you?"
Ulrich smiled without speaking, "Intimidation, temptation, and the addition of a Material Reorganization Machine, no mechanic could resist the allure of that thing."
"What's his background?" Jesaya asked again.
"I don't know," Ulrich shook his head, "I didn't check, and there's no need to."
"To have a Grand Mechanic hide his identity, knowing the reason can't be good."
Jesaya fell silent, frowning as he said, "Since he's here, hasn't the Torch Organization contacted you?"
"The day before you arrived, Torch did contact me. They wanted to invite him over to the Torch Organization, but I refused," Ulrich said gravely.
"You refused? Even the chance to enter the Ascender Civilization Relics?" Jesaya was somewhat surprised.
