Chapter 337: Value(3)

Gerkhen all of the sudden checked out the one who had come to seek out him.

A person with neatly groomed grey hair, a excessive nostril bridge, and horn-rimmed glasses.

Belingham Kantar, a senior at Endex and a balancer at Libra.

“lt ought to be a straightforward choice.”

He made a suggestion. For Gerkhen, it was something however straightforward.

“l’ve seen numerous resumes associated to Mr. Gerkhen. At Endex, on the college, even within the Parliamentary Knights.”

Belingham smiled faintly.

“You’ve got constantly harbored the ambition to develop into a Senator, have not you?”

Gerkhen remained silent the entire time. Since Belingham’s arrival, he hadn’t uttered a single phrase.

“Do not overthink it. We solely need one factor.”

Belingham continued. With none signal of damage emotions, not seeming coercive, as if he was proposing one thing actually useful for him.

“lf Mr. Gerkhen, or somebody near Mr. Gerkhen, has proof associated to Theia EsiL”

Belingham’s gaze sharpened for a second.

“Make a declaration of conscience.”

“…”

Declaration of conscience.

The phrase tugged at Gerkhen’s coronary heart. It could have been extra becoming to name it a declaration of no conscience.

“We are going to awaiting your resposne.”

Belingham positioned a blue enterprise card on the desk. Gerkhen appeared on the title and title written on it.

[Libra, Belingham Kantar: Balancer]

“lf you settle for the supply.”

Gerkhen lifted his head. Belingham’s calm grey eyes curved gently.

“Mr. Gerkhen could have what he most needs.”

What he most needs.

It was much like one thing Theia had as soon as stated to him, however the weight it carried was completely totally different.

“lts time for the council to alter, is not it?”

They might simply create a Senator. The youngest, a commoner-born Senator as properly.

That they had that sort of energy.

Subsequently, if he agreed, he might develop into a Senator.

“Then. I am going to see you once more.”

Maybe studying his inside ideas, Belingham stood up with a heat smile.

Gerkhen picked up the enterprise card he had left behind.

“……”

He Checked out it for a very long time, as if observing it.

…

Exterior, Belingham paused as he was about to get into his automotive. Somebody emerged from the darkness, strolling steadily.

“What occurred?”

It was Balancer Smith. As soon as, a senior balancer like Belingham.

“I made the supply.”

He’s Derek’s confidant. Though his bodily power is phenomenal, sadly, his senses usually are not as sharp.

“A proposal? You made a suggestion?”

He furrowed his forehead. Belingham nodded.

“Sure. Do you assume he will not settle for it?”

“Suppose he’ll settle for it, my ass. Simply a suggestion? It is a golden alternative to deliver down Theia.”

“…SO, what ought to have been completed?”

Belingham discovered Smith amusing.

Whereas he was totally loyal to Derek, he failed to know probably the most essential intentions of Zia.

In fact, Zia’s technique was crafty sufficient…

However inside enemies had been most likely the most important downside.

Finally, it was Derek’s Lack of advantage.

He handled individuals too carelessly.

Those that deal with individuals carelessly fail to deal with the fitting individuals correctly, and those that fail to deal with individuals correctly lose the belief of those that usually are not handled correctly.

This vicious cycle appeared to pose no downside whereas Derek reigned as emperor, however it was certain to crumble like a sandcastle when a way more meticulous and charismatic competitor appeared.

“It’s best to have introduced proof. Even when by power. Ready for that bastard to surrender the proof? Silly transfer. Its a blessing in the event that they have not destroyed it but”

“Ah, you imply to disclose that we have been wiretapping and monitoring.”

Smith’s forehead twitched violently, and deep wrinkles shaped on his face.

Belingham calmed him down.

“Do not be Like that. There isn’t any want to show this man into an enemy. He is nonetheless of use to US.”

“The use you are pondering of—”

“Go away that to me. I gathered the knowledge first. You perceive, proper?”

They had been at an deadlock.

Belingham acquired into the automotive. Simply as he was about to drive away, Smith grabbed the window body.

Crunch!

The physique of the automotive dented as a lot as his grip. Belingham’s face turned visibly shocked.

“Ah… this can be a restricted version.”

“Hey. Do you assume you are all the time proper?”

Smith requested with a compelled smile. Belingham met his quite vicious gaze.

“… H mm.”

Pretending to ponder, he stroked his chin for a second.

“Sure. Not all the pieces, however I consider I am proper more often than not.”

He continued in a Low voice.

“Belief me, senior. I used to be the one who found Balancer AscaL I all the time act in Libra’s greatest curiosity.”

“…”

Smith’s anger was seen, however he quickly burst into real laughter and let go of his hand.

“Ha… I look ahead to the day you develop into the successor.”

“lfs 600,000 Ren.”

Elise had received the portray for 600,000 Ren. It was a bit costlier than anticipated, however she was set to see not less than 50 instances the revenue.

“I suppose congratulations are so as.”

It was a birthday reward for Elise.

If my acquaintance can reside properly off Libra’s cash, then it is like stealing from Libra.

“Ah, however nonetheless, 600,000 Ren…”

“lt means many artists extremely worth you, so let’s have some confidence now.”

600,000 Ren is a big achievement. As a newcomer artist, it is sufficient to draw not less than Jade’s curiosity.

In any case, the worth of a painter is half artwork, half the value of the work.

“Let’s maintain portray.”

I handed Eceline the examine. After deducting the public sale charges, taxes, and whatnot, 250,000 Ren remained.

“…Sure.”

Eceline accepted it with a profoundly moved expression. Curious, I requested her,

“What’s going to you employ the examine for?”

“Um… I would like to make use of it for scholarships. There are various college students at our academy who wish to go to school.”

It was a strong use of the funds.

I smiled faintly and nodded.

With such a superb coronary heart, I’ve no alternative however to assist her earn more money…

Not too long ago, Belingham has been considering his creator.

Within the deepest recesses of Libra, behind probably the most tightly sealed door, He who nonetheless slumbers awaits the day of awakening.

Belingham is gauging that second, eagerly anticipating the day when the proper stability will probably be restored.

…Knock, knock.

He raised his hand and knocked, however there was no response.

Thus, He stays locked away. To maintain Himself, for the sake of the Libra Lineage.

“…I shall so long.”

Muttering, Belingham retraced his steps via the darkish path.

This place, the guts of the household head, was accessible solely to Belingham and the direct lineage. Nonetheless, on the entrance, Belingham seen somebody.

A pacing blue girl.

“Miss Zia?”

Zia turned to face Belingham.

“Sure… Belingham.”

She held a flower in her hand.

“What brings you right here?”

“…lfs quickly my father’s birthday.”

“Ah… thats proper.”

Belingham grimaced barely and prolonged his hand.

“He is nonetheless asleep, however I’ll ship it in your behalf.”

Silently, Zia nodded and handed him the flower.

“Nicely then…”

As Belingham brushed previous her, he whispered in her ear.

—My emotions stay unchanged.

Zia did not reply, however Belingham was assured that ultimately, she would select him.

It was solely pure. In any case, he was created to be such a person.

A pillar of stability, devoted solely to Libra.

“Goodbye.”

Belingham Left Zia behind. But, on the nook of the hall, he was stopped once more.

“…Hey. The place are you going?”

This time, it was Johanna. Belingham paused and checked out her silently.

A direct descendant Lengthy estranged from succession.

Did she understand that she had been disqualified?

“What are you observing?”

“Nothing.”

Belingham compelled a wry smile.

“Today, you look significantly stunning—”

“Reduce the crap.”

Johanna frowned.

“Have you ever seen father?”

“…NO. He’s nonetheless sleeping.”

In all probability each Zia and Johanna had adopted him right here after recognizing him. Their senses had been certainly sharp.

“He is been sleeping for fairly a very long time.”

“lt appears he has been fairly drained recently.”

At Belingham’s phrases, Johanna snickered.

“Derek has been inflicting some bother.”

It wasn’t simply Derek. Johanna herself have to be a big problem from his perspective.

“Nicely, that is all then. Go on. When he wakes up, cross on my regards.”

Johanna waved her hand dismissively.

“Sure. I’ll do this.”

Belingham smiled and bowed barely. As normal, he handed by her shoulder.

Nonetheless…

The expression on Johanna’s face as she watched his again was tinted coldly.

“…”

She had simply seen Belingham Kantar and Zia collectively. She had seen the unusual stress between them.

If there was one thing between them, Belingham Kantar was a menace to Shion Ascal.

Belingham’s intentions had been nonetheless unclear, however she could not enable this snake-like man to threaten Shion.

With that thought hidden in her chest, Johanna returned to her quarters.
