Capítulo 249: Chapter 168: Reconnaissance Team
Adjusting his hat better, Adryan calmly left Truqueda Cup.
"He's someone interesting, did you see how his eyes lit up when he asked about power?" Flora asked curiously looking at the street through the body of the redhead.
Adryan nodded slightly and answered just above a whisper.
"He has the desire to become stronger, whatever the origin of that desire is, it is not time to ask yet. When he is ready he will tell us."
Thanks to the fact that the streets were full and noisy, no one cared that the redhead was talking to himself.
Flora snorted.
"Just be careful that this desire doesn't put us at risk, although it's okay to want to become stronger one also has to be careful not to get lost in that desire."
"I've seen many members of the Jacob family get lost in the desire to become stronger, or who want so badly to restore the power of the family that they don't realize the danger they are putting themselves in." Flora said heavily.
"Many of those members wanted the best for the family but only managed to hurt it even more..." Flora continued speaking and Adryan frowned.
'She's letting go...' The redhead noticed and didn't like how this was going.
At that, the redhead could only sigh softly and spoke calmly.
"Flora it's not time to despise yourself, what kind of demigod does that? Where is your honor as a Jacob? Do you think your ancestor would like to see a demigod from his family sobing like a little child?"
At Adryan's provocation, Flora couldn't help but get angry.
"Fuck you Tomato Princess! At least let me vent a bit or do you have no heart?"
Adryan smiled and nodded.
"On my chest, there is only an ice cube and a bit of peach juice My dear~" the redhead teased and Flora snorted annoyed but Adryan could tell that there was amusement in that snort.
"There's my good girl! Leave that scorn behind that you're not like that, you're a proud Jacob and that's how I like it."
"Shut up idiot..." Flora muttered in embarrassment.
She noticed that the redhead was trying to comfort her in his own way and this made her heart warm a little.
She was sure that if she had a body now she would have a small smile, a blush on her cheeks, and would be playing with her hair...
Shaking her mind, she quickly tried to change the subject before her mind played another trick on her.
Dreaming of a night of passion with the redhead was enough...
"Why did you tell him that you'll meet again later in the cafe? Are you planning to ask him out on a date~?" Flora teased amused.
'And she is back to normal.' The redhead smiled victoriously as he answered.
"Not necessarily, I just want to introduce a new student to my class~" the redhead said amused and Flora immediately understood what the man wanted to do.
"Are you sure about that? Although the brat is behaving better that's only when she's in front of you, knowing her she will consider that guy as competition." Flora expressed her doubt and added.
"Her way of competing is brutal I'll tell you that."
Adryan smiled and nodded.
"I know, how could I not know that about my student being her teacher? That would be a shame!"
"Besides, don't you think that the two of them complement each other very well? From this, a rivalry will be born that will make them grow more than they would achieve alone"
"You and your crazy ideas." Flora sighed in exasperation but had to agree.
Someone who wanted to get special abilities and someone who wanted to get power would complement each other very well.
Even more so considering the brat's competitive personality.
"I'm not worried about the brat but the other guy, will he be able to bear it?"
Adryan smiled sharply.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure of that."
'Poor bastard doesn't know what he's got himself into.' Flora falsely lamented for Charlotte.
After that last exchange, both of them were silent for a long time...
And that was until Flora broke it.
"Hey Adryan...Don't you think that guy Charlotte...Don't you think he's a little gay?"
".." It took the redhead a few seconds to process what Flora had said.
And when he did...
"Hahahahahaha!"
Adryan burst out laughing.
At this Flora was upset.
"I mean it! Didn't he look a little gay to you?"
"Oh shit! Hahahahahaha!" At Flora's annoyance, Adryan continued to laugh incredulously.
The two of them may not realize it now or have simply decided to ignore it, which is most likely, but for better or worse, they had both become closer.
...
Blackthorn Security, Tingen City.
Klein swallowed a little, he adjusted his shirt collar a little because it was suffocating him.
'This presence is oppressive... I don't think even ice tea can calm me down...' he thought heavily, but before he could continue with his thoughts he felt a tap on his shoulder.
Poke*
Just as he turned his head to see who it was his cheek was pressed by a gloved finger.
Looking at the owner of the hand, Klein could only sigh.
"Hello, Leonard."
"You seem a bit nervous." Leonard said with his usual poetic smile but Klein noticed that his smile looked strained.
'You feel it too don't you?' Klein thought empathizing with the poet.
He turned his head to the door of Dunn's office and felt a chill go up his spine.
Leonard also suffered the same but trying to ignore it, he sat next to Klein on the sofa smiling at the latter.
He had sat a little closer to Klein who ignored this by focusing his attention on the door to the captain's office.
At this, Leonard only sighed internally and also looked at the office door.
No one knew how long they were looking at the door but at one point it was opened and a group of 6 people came out of it one by one.
The first person was a woman, she had raven black hair along with deep black eyes and very pale skin, she is Nightmare Lucia Fraust.
Lucia looked at Klein and Leonard and nodded gently in their direction, she just did that and stood to one side of the door.
The second person to come out was a man, with ash black hair and light honey eyes, his nose was high and his lips thin, he is Soul Asurer Truquer Drimi.
Truquer looked at Klein and Leonard and smiled at them.
He nodded while touching his glabella and stood next to Lucia.
The third person was another man, with gray hair and deep black eyes, he is Spirit Medium Albert Frankes.
The man completely ignored the existence of Klein and Leonard and stood with his companions.
The fourth person was a woman Klein and Leonard were familiar with, she was still wearing her black hooded robe and silver bracelet, and her blue makeup only highlighted her blue eyes.
Recently promoted, Spirit Guide Daly Simone.
Madam Daly looked at them and gave them a small wink before coming to stand next to her companions.
The last two people came out together, one of them was Nighthawks Captain Dunn Smith.
The other was a man slightly taller than Dunn, he had close-cropped golden-brown hair and blackish-green eyes.
Nightwatcher Crestet Cesimir.
All five people wore red gloves. Even Daly.
Crestet Cesimir had in his hand a silver briefcase that since he arrived on Thursday afternoon, Klein noticed that he has never let go.
'What kind of sealed artifact is there that he dare not drop it?' Klein thought barely allowing himself a quick glance at the briefcase.
"So far we haven't found much but that's normal considering who we're dealing with." Cesimir said seriously to Dunn who nodded calmly.
Then the demigod turned to look at Klein who felt the same chill as before but much stronger.
"Thank you for your information, regardless of whether we catch our target or not, your contribution will be remembered."
Cesimir only looked at him for a few seconds before turning to his team.
"Come on, we'll be investigating for two days without a break. Remember to look for the house with the red chimney."
None of those present complained but nodded and the 5 of them left the office.
Only when the group left the room did Klein release a heavy sigh that he didn't know he was holding.
'Is that a demigod? They are terrifying!' He thought with his wet back.
'I have no idea who is stronger, Chariot or Cesimir but I don't want to find out! If a demigod gives so much pressure, how much more pressure will be two demigods fighting!' Klein thought in a cold sweat.
Leonard was no better as he wiped his forehead which was sweaty and hair was sticking to it.
"You should be happy Klein, receiving those words from the Sword of the Goddess is amazing." Leonard tried to joke but Klein just looked at him with an expression that said <Really?>
Dunn looked at the duo and could only sigh as he pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Leonard is right Klein, receiving such a compliment is an honor, if you manage to move fast it's very likely that Cesimir will take you under his wing like he did with Daly."
'Not you too, Captain!' Klein thought, shooting the man a betrayed look.
Seizing the opportunity, Leonard asked the question that had bothered him since yesterday.
"Klein my friend tell me, how did you manage to see that red chimney in your divination? According to what I heard from the Red Gloves that should have been impossible."
Klein controlled his expression and made the excuse he had spent the whole night planning.
"It was just luck, I was divining about other things when I managed to see that red chimney by accident, when I tried to see her again by repeating the divination nothing happened so I didn't give it importance thinking that it was something else."
"I only decided to mention it because it might be useful and because I couldn't get it out of my head, I never thought it would be a key clue" Klein said honestly not honestly.
"So it's like that..." Dunn said putting a hand to his chin, deep in thought.
"You certainly are lucky Klein! I wish I was as lucky of you." Leonard said with a smile but his eyes were telling Klein something else.
Klein couldn't read minds but he could understand with extreme ease what Leonard was trying to say.
