Bab 139: Catalyst of Change

AKU crumpled the newspaper in his hands after reading the headline. "Kiho and Lady Nystrom are adopting the child that Lord Huxley attacked?"

He just got into his office to start his paperwork when Sir Gregory handed him the newspaper that he ought to see. Well, he was just being generous.
