Ethan listened carefully to the man's request. If the man truly insisted on asking for his help, then Ethan was willing to do it.
However, there was still a major problem. Ethan did not yet know who Mr. X really was.
He did not know which guild Mr. X belonged to, what class he used, or what kind of person he was.
There were too many unknowns. Ethan lacked critical information that he needed as a foundation for his next move.
The man explained that he knew several things about Mr. X. He hoped that whatever information he could provide would be enough to help Ethan take revenge on his behalf.
"You probably don't know much about Mr. X," the man said quietly. "Only certain members of the Shadow Guild have information about him."
"You do?" Ethan asked.
The man nodded. He had spoken with several members of the Shadow Guild before. From those conversations, he learned fragments of information about Mr. X's identity.
