Avourel didn't want to believe Khaya. He refused to believe her until she showed the message logs. It started from the meeting between the Ten Stars Accord's leaders and the Executive Administrator.
She scrolled down the message for him, and he saw what happened. The meeting about Tang Shaoyang's attack on the Shadow Star. By the time the meeting was held, the Shadow Star's main world, Allavaine, was already attacked. Not just attacked, they already lost their main force, including Geralt and the Elders.
He also saw how Tang Shaoyang's team was spreading the news live. They spread the news with malicious intent for their scheme, so the Ten Stars Accord's enemies might take advantage of the gap left behind by the Shadow Star.
The unbelievable thing was that Tang Shaoyang didn't know who he had killed at first. It was his subordinates who found out who killed the Leader of the Serpent Star later on.
