Lu Gao's existence was rather unique, and it was also a mystery to Lin Mu as to why others didn't find out about him earlier. After all, an illegitimate son of the emperor was still important enough for the alliance to have some records on him.

'I certainly didn't read about him in any of the documents… strange.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

Looking at Wu Hei, Lin Mu now wondered how he knew of it.

"How did you find out about this Wu Hei? Even the alliance didn't know about it." Lin Mu questioned.

"I wouldn't have known of it either, if not for the fact that the Gu clan had worked with the emperor before." Wu Hei spoke.

"Huh?" Lin Mu was not expecting this.

"You do know of the Gu clan and its workings over fifty years ago right?" Wu Hei asked.

"I've been made aware of them, yes." Lin Mu replied. "And wasn't it the emperor himself that got them eliminated in the end?"

"Yes… but what many don't know is that the emperor made a lot many deals with the Gu clan than were let on. Several of them were highly sensitive and if the information about them was leaked, the empire might have been compromised.

That was one of the reasons why the Emperor could not let the Gu clan exist for any longer." Wu Hei explained.

"I see… then did the emperor make use of the Gu clan in this, too?" Lin Mu asked again.

"Yes… The emperor needed to get Lu Gao several resources and more. For this, he couldn't use his own people as it would have a great chance of revealing his position and the existence of Lu Gao.

Thus, he made use of the one power that would do anything as long as they were paid… this being the Gu clan.

It was the Gu clan that transferred the wealth to Lu Gao as an intermediary, as well as helping him set up the Gambling dens." Wu Hei explained further.
