Shadow Three meant well, but he could be a bit too honest.
Putting away the note, Mike refocused on the situation at hand.
Shadow Two being the Fifth Demon God's son was unexpected, but considering Shadow Nine's penchant for elaborate schemes, it wasn't entirely implausible.
Shadow Two had served the Guardian Shadow faithfully for many years, earning both recognition and experience. He had also spent considerable time learning the ropes from Shadow Nine himself.
Whether as Bad Woman or Bad Man, Shadow Two could be trusted to make the right call when it mattered.
When he encountered Morpheus all those years ago, Shadow Two had been contemplating running away from home.
Who would have thought that "running away" would turn into a three-hundred-year absence?
Besides, when Mike initially sent Shadow Two to the Fifth Abyss, he didn't assign him any significant tasks.
To put it simply, Shadow Two's visit could be called a sneak attack.
