Canyue pressed a single hand on the satchel at his waist, where it held the forbidden knowledge incarnate of the Discerning Eye Fragments.
'Poor child… The power disparity is too great, he doesn't even have the courage to doubt anymore.'

Doing this was merely to avoid Bablushka's sight and delay a bit more time.
The forbidden knowledge would have to be handed over sooner or later, but while it was in his hands, Canyue decided how long it could be used.
Canyue had long calculated that Bablushka would send Night Butterfly's troops to monitor him, and since that was the case, having the forbidden knowledge "protected and carried" by a student would give him ample time and excuses to "search for the target's whereabouts."
As for how long to search, it depended on how long this knowledge could be used.
But Lucite didn't think this way.
