Chapter 309: Milky Manner(3)

“Hey. How’s work going?”

Bell Moore, who had stopped by my workplace on the Intelligence Company, requested as he Regarded round and smiled contentedly.

“lts gotten lots greater. Rather a lot greater certainly.”

True to his phrases, the workplace had modified.

It was about 5 occasions the scale of the earlier one.

As Bell Moore’s stature rose day-to-day, the executive staff had taken care of the adjustments.

“Sure. How about your work?”

Bell Moore shrugged his shoulders.

“Usual, standard. However, you are still engaged on that challenge, proper?”

‘That challenge was most likely Theia Esil.

“Sure. Its taking a while to arrange meticulously, and it is confidential externally. There is a threat of data Leakage.”

“…”

Bell Moore seemed uneasy, typical of somebody who shies away from pointless conflicts.

“Ah, no matter. Its not my fault if one thing goes fallacious.”

Bell Moore muttered as he sprawled on the couch.

“Oh proper. You mentioned you are not taking part in Ortus?”

The Ortus Symposium. Derek’s painstakingly crafted endgame for synthetic intelligence was nearing.

“Sure. I’ve a mission.”

It is a self-assigned mission. I have to attend as Killian, so Shion will likely be staying away for now.

“It’s best to go your self, Staff Chief Bell.”

“… H mm.”

Bell Moore’s face scrunched up as if he discovered the concept distasteful.

It is the height of summer time season, perhaps he’d relatively be at a membership.

“Hey. Shion. Have you ever heard the rumors about Dr. Killian?”

Bell Moore saved speaking, as if he was chatting with faculty buddies or mates.

He should be actually bored nowadays.

“What rumors are you speaking about?”

“They are saying he blew by means of 50 million Ren in simply three months. Isnrt that loopy?”

Bell Moore laughed heartily.

“Thats virtually 500,000 Ren a day, much more extravagant than me~”

I raised an eyebrow.

Such rumors had been really what I hoped for. Showing indulgent in luxurious and pleasure would make his downfall all of the extra dramatic.

“Effectively… Staff Chief BelL”

I subtly modified the topic.

“Oh, what?”

“Be carefuL”

“…Carefu L?”

“Sure. Whereas I am away.”

I seemed him within the eyes and spoke gravely.

“Di rector Ged Ley would possibly attempt to kill you.”

“…”

Bell Moore not denies such statements. He simply listens silently after which sighs.

“I do not perceive why that man is so paranoid.”

He solely whispers behind the scenes.

“Be certain to maintain the hotline on.”

“…I used to be going to do this anyway, man.”

Bell Moore received up from the couch. He grabbed the doorknob, seemingly prepared to depart.

“…Hey.”

He turned again to me and requested.

“Why do you… to me….”

What was it once more? Oh, what was it? Bell Moore muttered to himself, seemingly embarrassed, then cleared his throat Loudly.

“Why are you loyal to me?”

Bell Moore appeared genuinely curious. Due to me, he had turn out to be a staff Chief in simply two years.

“Staff Chief Bell, the one particular person I’m Loyal to is Miss Zia.”

“…NO, I imply, thats only a saying.”

Bell Moore pouted his lips. His rabbit-Like options and the motion of his wrinkles had been repulsive.

I held again a curse and smiled barely.

“You are my commander, aren’t you? And also you’re my mentor, Staff Chief BelL”

That was the one purpose.

You climb above me, and I take advantage of you from beneath.

Bell Moore should turn out to be the conduit by means of which all info from the Intelligence Company is handed to me.

“…Proper. Sustain the nice work.”

He smiled considerably plainly. Waving his hand, he left my workplace.

On the outskirts of Edsilla, in a distant space, there exists a darkish cavern. Initially a humble village, it was deserted following the emergence of monsters and the invention of a mana stone vein.

This was Derek’s first enterprise. A radical setup dedicated by him in his vigorous youth.

“This appears to be the place…”

Derek had Discovered beforehand that beneath this village lay a vein of mana stones.

Nevertheless, the villagers refused to promote their Land to him. To them, their homeland was extra treasured than any mana stone vein.

Not so for Derek.

He employed monsters.

The monsters pretended to be beasts and set fireplace to this tiny village. Treasured houses had been destroyed, and plenty of lives had been misplaced.

An odd catastrophe that obtained no media consideration.

Afterward, Derek purchased the whole village web site for a lot lower than the value he initially supplied. He then mined relentlessly for 20 years.

“…lt’s desolate now.”

I requested her again.

“Was it the doing of Theia EsiL?”

“Yeah, thats proper.”

Akane muttered, clutching her cigarette tightly.

“The grasp had changed into a monster too.”

“…Why?”

“He most likely did not need to die. The grasp was an previous man dying. Famend, Discovered, honored, authoritative, however nonetheless a sick previous man. Maybe he nonetheless had many seas he needed to sail earlier than he died.”

Akane shrugged her shoulders with a Snicker.

“Anyway, so. Can you actually tie all of it up with simply this stuff?”

“Sure. I’ve discovered the grasp’s daughter.”

At my phrases, Akane’s expression tensed.

“…Actually?”

“An affidavit from her can be sufficient for a homicide cost.”

Killing a monster shouldn’t be against the law. Fairly, letting a monster Dwell is against the law.

Nevertheless, nobody is aware of that Theia’s former grasp was a monster. What nobody is aware of is not a reality.

Furthermore, if I tie Theia up with the truth that she’s a stooge for [Vancheon], she will certainly Lose.

She will likely be imprisoned.

“…That may be fascinating.”

Akane muttered, flicking her cigarette ash. Then instantly, she requested me in a lethal severe tone.

“You are certain. She will not die, proper?”

Thus, Akane doesn’t need to kill Theia.

Even when she betrayed her personal grasp, she needs ‘her’ to remain alive.

“Sure.”

I prolonged my hand to Akane.

“She will certainly not die. Theia EsiI…”

…and the ‘human’ ego of Akane…

“…WilL positively stay on this world.”

To the individuals who helped me in my previous Life, from me who can not dwell lengthy, that is the reward I can provide.

A want for his or her blissful ending.

“…You actually are a wierd one.”

Akane held my hand with a faint smile.

One week earlier than the Ortus Symposium.

I’m getting ready for a enterprise journey as Dr. Killian.

“Are you all set?”

Riley, who I ran into within the hallway, requested me. She can be my private assistant throughout the symposium. She will need to have requested Derek straight.

“Sure, I’ve ready all of the supplies.”

I emphasised the phrase ‘supplies’ closely.

The supplies it’s essential to take with you.

Riley sipped her espresso.

“…1fm a bit nervous. You are asserting Model 2 of the Al at Ortus, proper?”

“Sure. WelL”

I pressured a tragic smile.

“I hope it goes nicely. With none unusual incidents.”

“Unusual incidents… Effectively, there have been some odd rumors these days.”

Riley cautiously broached the topic.

“They are saying the Al are overwritten souls.”

“…”

I stiffened my face abruptly, reacting fairly sensitively on goal.

“Who says that?”

“…What?”

Riley feigned ignorance, tilting her head.

“Simply… gossip. I do not imagine it however… I imply, if it is overwritten souls, perhaps that is an excellent factor?”

“Good?”

“Sure. It means we will recycle ineffective folks.”

“…Effectively, that could be true. However, Ms. Riley.”

I seemed round cautiously after which requested.

“You needn’t monitor me anymore, do you?”

“Ah… that’s-”

Riley pressured a smile.

“…or.”

I glared at Riley, expressing suspicion.

“Maybe you had one other goal, not simply monitoring.”

This provocation ought to be sufficient.

Riley, feeling a way of disaster from my each phrase, would quickly attempt to eradicate me, after which I’d hand over the supplies I had ready as a ‘whistleblower’.

“lts only a joke. Haha.”

I laughed and prolonged my hand to Riley.

“Please take excellent care of me throughout the symposium.”

It could be our final handshake.

“…Sure.”

Till the tip, not revealing her intentions, Riley grasped my hand. Her pores and skin felt tender towards mine.

I recalled the identical intent we each harbored.

The downfall of Derek.

The turbulent succession that might quickly cascade like a waterfall.

It was certainly imminent.
