Capítulo 300: Chapter 300: The Counter

"Why would I look for death?" Gabriel didn't mind Avilia calling him crazy. If anything, he would've called himself crazy as well since he was actually suggesting something absurd. 

Unfortunately, he had no choice for now. He could either risk the entire Empire and his identity, which was going to lead to something even more problematic, or he could go with his plan. 

He didn't know how Emperor Alecton got the fate stone that was taken by the killer of Lord of Flames' daughter. However, he knew that this entire Empire was turned into a scapegoat. Moreover, since he heard how the Lord of Flames destroyed an entire city in the past, he didn't put this possibility past him. 

This Empire and him were made scapegoats. If he wanted to get out of this situation, he needed to give Lerian another scapegoat. Only then could he avoid future troubles. However, achieving that was the hardest part... He couldn't just tell Lerian about Emperor Alecton while meeting him.
