FATE: Target of Grand Master

Xia Yan immediately took out his phone and sent a message to Hu Xia.

Collect all the Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): Hu Xia, help me investigate why that guy is able to create clone Servants.

A moment later, Hu Xia sent a message.

Netizen (Hu Xia): I would have investigated even without you telling me, but it definitely won't be possible to get an answer in a short time. I don't even know that guy's real identity yet.

Collect all the Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): Hmm, I understand. Just do your best.

Xia Yan was about to close the chat window after sending the message when he saw that Hu Xia had sent another message.

Bystander (Hu Xia): Why am I suddenly being asked to investigate this spot?

Xia Yan gathered the Fairy Knights: After being thoroughly suppressed by him on the Holy Grail Front, he naturally wanted to repay him.

Netizen (Hu Xia): Come on. If you don't tell the truth, even if I find out the reason, I won't tell you.

Xia Yan looked at his phone screen and pursed his lips.

He knew that the fact that he was now asking Hu Xia to investigate the cloned Servant instead of when he was attacked meant that there was something new going on with him, but Hu Xia's reaction was just too quick.

It happened so fast that I didn't even have time to close the chat window.

Collect all the fairy knights (Xia Yan): Do you believe me if I say I didn't react at the time?

Bystander (Hu Xia): I don't believe you for a second. Enough nonsense, fine, you're the one who needs my help now.

Collect all the Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): Okay, okay, I'll tell you.

Xia Yan recounted the situation of the three shadow followers he had encountered in the previous trial.

After reading Xia Yan's message, Hu Xia did not reply for a long time.

Collect all the Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): If you have any thoughts, feel free to share them with me.

There was a moment of silence on the other end, then a message was sent.

(Hu Xia, a bystander): If we disregard the source, do you think these Shadow Servants will continue to evolve until they surpass the original Servants?

Collect all the Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): That's exactly what I was worried about. Don't you think the Shadow Servants and the clone Servants created by "information brokers" are very similar?

Spectator (Hu Xia): You really think so too.

Gathering Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): But there are still some unreasonable aspects here. My impression from BB's Master Trial this time is that they still care about fairness, and they shouldn't have given the right to create Shadow Servants to the participating Masters.

Netizen (Hu Xia): Isn't BB the one who loves to talk about cheating the most? She's done a lot of things that supermodels do, although most of them ended up as comedies.

Collect all the Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): That's what she said, but most of the people she cheated on before were herself or the protagonist she had chosen. Unless that "information broker" has already been pre-selected by BB, I really can't think of why that person would have the authority to copy Servants.

Spectator (Hu Xia): I don't think there was any pre-arrangement involved in this Master Trial. If that were the case, then BB organizing this Master Trial would become a joke. I don't think BB would go to such lengths to do such a thing.

Collect all the Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): Then there's only one possibility left.

Netizen (Hu Xia): "Information broker" stole BB's privileges.

Gather the Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): Or, there is an external force assisting the "information broker".

Bystander (Hu Xia): External force? What external force? Have you encountered it?

Collect all the Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): I don't know.

Bystander (Hu Xia): So you dare to assert that there is external force involved?

Collect all the Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): Do you think that "Information Broker" as a Master participating in the trial has the ability to steal BB's authority as the highest administrator?

Spectator (Hu Xia): But that guy does have intelligence capabilities that surpass those of an average Master.

Collect the Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): Did you witness the process of that guy stealing information, or did you simply learn that the other party knew your information? It's definitely the latter, otherwise you wouldn't be discussing this with me here. How can you be so sure that he obtained it through his own abilities?

Xia Yan's words enlightened Hu Xia.

Yes, he only saw the result that the "information broker" knew his information, but Hu Xia didn't actually know how this result came about.

She had always been somewhat prejudiced that this was the "information broker's" own ability. In fact, the "information broker" seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally reinforcing this impression in her mind. However, Xia Yan's speculation about external assistance was entirely possible.

Hu Xia stared at his phone screen, lost in thought.

It has to be said that if you shift your perspective to that of BB, the highest administrator, many things become clearer.

Regardless of how the "information broker" stole BB's privileges, given that guy's massive production of clone Servants on the Holy Grail Front, it's impossible for BB not to have discovered that his privileges had been stolen.

But BB has not taken any action.

There are only two reasons.

Either BB had a "spy" in mind, but that possibility has been ruled out.

So, another possibility is that BB has lost the ability to restrain and punish "information brokers," which means that BB has lost the authority of the highest administrator.

Thinking about this, Hu Xia was surprised by his own idea.

It should be noted that the entire Master Trial was planned by BB, so logically, no one should be able to challenge BB's position.

Wait a moment.

If we consider the Master Trial as a barrier, the participants inside the barrier, namely the Master, cannot challenge BB under any circumstances. However, if there are forces outside the barrier, then it's not necessarily the case.

Speaking of which, the "information broker" himself seems to have said that the Descendants are a third-party force besides BB's side and the Master's side. Therefore, it is certain that the Descendants are definitely not something that should exist in the Master Trial.

Regardless of whether the "information broker" actually received assistance from external forces, or why they would reveal information about the arrival of the invaders, the existence of external forces is at least not unfounded.

Thinking of this, Hu Xia felt a sense of awe towards Xia Yan, who was currently communicating with her.

Did Xia Yan already consider this step in advance?

Just like Hu Xia, who was deep in thought while staring at his phone screen, Xia Yan was also sitting on the sofa, pondering over his phone screen.

As Hu Xia thought, Xia Yan had indeed considered this point. However, what Hu Xia didn't know was that Xia Yan also possessed information that she was unaware of. It was this information that gave Xia Yan the confidence to speculate that the "information broker" had external support.

That's what Ms. Tsuru said when she joined his safe house: Fujimaru Ritsuka encountered a mishap.

Although we don’t yet know what kind of misfortune Fujimaru Ritsuka encountered, the Descendants are definitely one of the reasons for this misfortune, and resolving this misfortune is likely the fundamental reason why BB created the Master Trial.

Speaking of the Descendants, isn't there Abi right beside me, preparing for the game?

Perhaps the "information broker" also has an Invader by his side, but unlike Abi's attitude when he asked him to play games, that Invader exists as an assistant.
