Although the so-called "Werewolf" brought chaos to the always tranquil Chongguang Island…
Russell did not think there was anything wrong with the chaos itself.
The other party's demands were so legitimate, their motivation so righteous—that even though they were kidnappers and murderers, they still received support and endorsement online from the public.
Rather, because their motivation was too righteous and their demands too legitimate, Russell instead suspected there might be a larger conspiracy behind it all. He really did not believe that a homegrown "Awakener" who could not be caught by big data investigations by the Three Sages could emerge on Chongguang Island.
Therefore, Russell believed there must be a manipulator behind this incident—
And most likely an old acquaintance.
