Episode 137 Blake Cruz.(4)
* * *
The first story that came up on the topic was so shocking that the rest of the conversation did not give me much stimulation.
It’s probably because most of the content was cross-validation between the future I knew and the future that Blake knew.
“I, your father, and you. The future we all saw is similar.”
“Iknow, right.”
“It’s the Somnium Liberator side, so I’m not too worried about it since you’re trampling the buds, but the problem must be the ‘the person your father is wary of’. There is no one who can stop him.”
It was a story that took my breath away just to hear it.
Stop Oscar?
It’s not an impossible story.
Under the premise that an Awakener comparable to Chloe would help.
But how easy is that?
Nihilis, who was active at the same time and remained a legendary figure, must have endured somehow, but that is also just my guess.
He was a character who had no role in the original.
The story could be different once Beatrix has grown up, but it is impossible to depend on Beatrix forever.
“But, why don’t the boss and other awakened people talk about such a future even when they see it?”
“For the same reason as you. Believe it or not, it’s a believable story. Aren’t we always telling the truth? sometimes it’s wrong I wonder if it will be the case this time as well. Honestly, who would believe such nonsense? The story of the world being destroyed by a group of unheard-of villains, the best hero who is envied by many, and a mysterious villain who suddenly appeared.”
“Still, someone deserves to take it out, isn’t it? How can everyone be mindful? It’s like looking at the anecdote of the Naked King.”
“Some people have told me. Most of them are imprisoned in a psychiatric ward without even attracting much attention. In particular, the awakened with intelligence is often used as propaganda in the political arena, so it is easy to dismiss it as ‘high-ranking people are trying to put pressure on the hero again’. There are more prophets than you think, who disappear without the knowledge of mice or birds.”
If there are many prophets, this kind of thing happens.
Obviously, not everyone is a prophet.
Blake’s words that he was trying to keep his place didn’t seem to lie.
I thought it was just a plausible statement that the best solution was suggested by thoroughly analyzing the client’s situation, environment, and personality.
Since he doesn’t know when he will be on the missing list, he must have been a man of great political and business skills, seeing that he is still active until now.
“Looking at that, the boss who is maintaining this business is amazing.”
“Of course. I’m obviously a madman, but I’m not an idiot with no skills.”
“But, the boss is pretty relaxed for thinking seriously about this matter, aren’t you worried about it?”
“Hey, do you know about Jeffrey’s shop?”
Jeffrey’s shop?
I’m sure I’ve heard the name somewhere, but where was it?
Oh yes, there it is.
Where you said you bought and sold what channels.
It was a place I heard as an example to appeal to the need for an urban legend club.
“Yes, I know.”
“The real owner of that channel is flying.”
“Yes?”
I didn’t expect anything.
This is how it will be connected.
At best, I thought it was an experiment planned by a third-rate villain organization or some secret organization.
“What are you so surprised about? You have to get a lot of information to do this. Just because you know the future, doesn’t it mean that you can immediately suggest a solution? First of all, it is stated that it is a counseling office, but in reality, it is more like a private detective. You need to widen your eyes.”
“I think the idea itself is obviously extraordinary, but… I heard that I couldn’t find a lot of useful information. Did you even make the media shut up by lobbying?”
“no? Why bother doing something like that? It’s a matter of trust. No matter how many things I do, the reason the vested interests do not touch me is because I am very good at keeping secrets from heroes and politicians who have come to ask me. Shouldn’t it be a win-win relationship?”
“There is an unwritten rule that, instead of notifying the outsiders of the reason for requesting counseling, they will not interfere with the work of the boss.”
“Yes. The same goes for the media. If you do that for a long time, you will come across a lot of interesting news. Those are very cool articles. I hand over the data to the press, and the press hides my information as the informant.”
Obviously, the playing water is different.
He’s a person who kills people with connections, and I’m full of people around me, but with very few exceptions like Chloe, it seemed hard to find someone with as wide feet as this guy in front of me.
At least in this field, it is safe to be called the strongest.
Since I came to this world, I’ve met many kinds of strong people, but this is the first time I’ve ever been strong in this area.
“Aren’t you scared or not?”
“It would be a lie to say that I am not anxious. Do you understand now that I was traveling with so many bodyguards?”
“Don’t be.”
“Anyway, what information did you get through that channel?”
“I have good news and bad news. What would you like to hear?”
“Let’s start with the bad news.”
How bad news must be bad, I thought.
You can’t always hear good news.
“Oh no, there are rumors that the man we are guarding has obtained the remains of Cosmos.”
“Cosmos… yo. this?”
The name had appeared.
The Cosmos Special Forces itself was also named after that person.
There was no story beyond ‘repelled by another villain’ in the production.
“okay. One of the people who led the pocket watch of Raven, the predecessor of the current Cosmos Special Forces. Don’t you know?”
“All right.”
“It’s strange. A yangban, who was the first member of the Purple Knights? What did your master not say?”
“You told me that there was a swordsman who left the Knights Templar, but he didn’t tell me exactly who it was.”
“Well, it doesn’t matter. The important thing is that Cosmos, who had been missing for a long time, was found dead, and his remains were in his hands.”
That’s very bad news.
I don’t know where the corpse is going to be used, but I don’t think it was taken to be used for a good cause.
Besides, he’s not a stupid villain, and it’s the remains of a powerful person who surpasses Nihilis, so it was clear that it would be a great threat if he could revive him.
In a field where it is difficult to even follow Nihilis’ movements with your eyes, you may have to deal with the first seat.
“… That’s very bad news. So what’s the good news? It would be nice if it wasn’t a pun like ‘there is still a long way to go for Cosmos to revive’.”
“Raven has been granted parole.”
“Are you talking about Taylor Seth?”
“Then, is there any other Raven besides him?”
The villain, Raven, who came out against me during the final exams of the first semester last year.
He used to be a huge villain, but now it is known that he is living quietly in prison.
But, what’s the point of having that bastard set free?
“Why is that good news? It’s a villain. It has nothing to do with us.”
“Why do you think it doesn’t matter? Cosmos was the vice president of Raven’s Pocket Watch. The leader was Raven himself. I mean, it was a very close relationship. But, will Raven be still after hearing this news? Even after hearing that there is someone playing tricks on the body of his colleague?”
“However, no matter how strong Raven was, he wouldn’t be able to defeat him.”
“Yeah, even Raven wouldn’t be able to win that. But, do you think you can beat Hades tidying up?”
Hades!
Why didn’t I figure out the link earlier?
The Somnium Liberator already knew that he was using a dragon to somehow free Hades.
The fact that there is some kind of relationship between the current Trinity Academy dean Oscar and the Somnium Liberator has not been known for a long time.
In other words, Oscar could have contact with Hades as long as he was freed.
“If Raven kills Hades, the remains of Cosmos will no longer be usable.”
“Yeah, without Hades, the remains of Cosmos would be nothing more than a treasure trove. Awakeners with Necromancy are not very rare, but in order to be able to dominate even the strongest of the Cosmos class, they have to be as good as Hades.”
“So, you mean you’re going to target Lee Jae-yi?”
“That’s correct. As long as you convince Raven well, you will be able to contain both the Somnium Liberator and Oh Whatsiggi.”
It was a huge income.
Obviously, the scale of their conspiracies is getting bigger and bigger, so I thought it would be difficult for me to prevent all future events by myself.
A way to sabotage both sides.

Moreover, there is even the news that one more ally who boasts of extreme power will be added.Couldn’t have been better than this.
“But, why are you being so kind to me?”
“Because I got money. Your father paid for all the futures and assets he knew of as counselling. Exactly, your consultation fee.”
“How long is the consultation period?”
“Unlimited days.”
“Then why did you say I wasn’t a customer earlier?”
“I just want to curse.”
