[Cadel stares hard at these words, but he's not that good at reading people. If this is a lie or a manipulation, it's working on him. To him, they read sincere-- they resonate with him. Cadel himself would never have ended up in that kind of situation, not with Prosper dictating his life, but the thing is...
The crime empire Prosper had raised him to run would've created thousands of kids in that situation. Cadel had never thought of it quite so explicitly, but the knowledge of consequences is what made him rebel, what turned him moral. How can he pass up an opportunity to right in some small way one of the wrongs he was almost led to commit himself?]
Yes. I'll help you. Who am I looking into?
[He doesn't say anything about the story itself. From Abduxel's own words on not caring if he thought less of him, Cadel knows he isn't looking for an opinion and he hopes that one day he has that same confidence himself about his own shady past. For now, his simple agreement is message enough, he thinks.]
