The three fell into silence again. Find the real mastermind behind the scenes, and then what?
Go find Des and expose the evil nature of Azure Dragon?

"This matter is just a catalyst," Theo said solemnly. "We know about these things, but Des doesn't. Why did he let Brother directly approach Azure Dragon?"
"Azure Dragon's arrival posed a threat to him; he wanted to use this as a pretext to kill Azure Dragon," Ulrich speculated, "but then, something went wrong."
"And once something happens to Azure Dragon, we would inevitably be…" Ulrich paused, then hesitantly continued: "...exiled..."
Sandro shrank his head. He wasn't very sensitive to other matters, but he cared a lot when it involved his own wealth and life.
