"— — — — —"
Silence.
A deathly silence.
While the surroundings of the cafe were bustling with noise and excitement, not a single person at Rozen's table spoke.
Rozen looked at the two girls with a smile after snapping his fingers.
Chris, on the other hand, was bewildered.
Alice, on the other hand, was a little fearful of Rozen.
The shattering sound that resounded from within her body had completely disintegrated Alice's strength, causing her to be unable to move in the truest sense.
Wasn't this to be expected?
From the start, Alice had always thought that her brother was the strongest and most powerful person. Regardless of whether the opponent was a human or a demon armor insect, they could only run around in circles under his schemes and schemes. That was why she admired Jess so much.
Under such circumstances, Alice believed that Jess would definitely be able to realize his ambition and conquer the world.
This was not blind trust.
Just looking at the current situation, Jess had already climbed to the position of the council president with his own strength. His authority and influence were only below Pope's. It could be said that he controlled the life and death of the human race to a certain extent, as well as the direction of the world's future. From this, one could see how extraordinary and powerful Jess was.
Hence, Alice never thought that in this world, anyone could be Jess's opponent, even if the opponent was Pope.
However, from this moment onwards, Alice's understanding was shattered.
Rozen also relied on his own strength. Not only did he display astonishing strength, but he also displayed outstanding strategies. He actually managed to exchange blows with Jess through the air, and even defeated Jess's plan with a single move.
Just as Rozen said, this game was not between Rozen and Alice, but between Rozen and Jess.
As for her, she was only a chess piece on the chessboard, and a chess piece that had been used by both sides.
Yet, Alice could not even get angry.
After all, compared to these two people, she, who thought she had the upper hand from the beginning, was too insignificant on this chessboard. She was so insignificant that she couldn't even muster the will to resist.
Hence, at that moment, there was only fear in Alice's heart. Only fear.
It was no wonder that Rozen did not deal with her. It was not only because he wanted to make use of her, but also because he saw through Alice's role and directly skipped Alice to target Jess. It was also because Rozen did not feel threatened by Alice at all.
Those eyes that seemed to be able to see through her completely weren't looking at her at all, but at the chess player behind her.
As for her, she didn't even have the qualifications to enter Rozen's vision.
Realizing this, how could Alice not be afraid?
There was no doubt that this girl had a fragile and naive side to her.
To Alice, Rozen's next sentence was undoubtedly enough to make the fear in her heart erupt.
"What should I do with you next?"
Rozen said intentionally or unintentionally, which made Alice's heart tremble.
"… Do you want to kill us?"
At this time, it was Chris who calmed down and asked in a deep voice.
However, Rozen simply shook his head.
"Logically speaking, killing you now should be the best way to deal with it, but after all, one of you is the sister of the Floating Cities Alliance's council leader, and the other is the head of Mistergang's school. Even if you're a humanoid magic beetle, if I kill you, there will be no evidence. At that time, the president will definitely use this as a pretext to trip me up, right?"
Since Jess dared to send Alice here and let her expose her identity as a humanoid magic beetle in front of Rozen, it proved that he must have prepared for this.
In view of this, if Rozen wanted to punish Alice and Chris as an "enemy," he would probably fall into another of Jess's schemes.
Since Jess didn't care about Alice and Chris's life and death, it was very likely that he would use their death as a card.
In that case, Rozen naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to step into the enemy's trap.
Or rather …
"Letting you live is actually the most beneficial situation for me." Rozen smiled and said: "If you can use your identity, then it's not impossible to take down Jess."
Hearing this sentence, the two girls subconsciously thought that Rozen wanted them to expose the secret that Jess was also a humanoid magic beetle.
In this way, people would not only make Jess step down, but even execute him.
Unfortunately …
"That's useless." Chris said quite seriously: "Jess -sama has already planted his people in the council and various floating cities where humans live. Even if you want to use this to take him down, it will become futile."
For example, Chris was sent to Mistergang to become the head of the school, and similar people were sent by Jess to various floating cities to take up important positions in the human race. Even if Rozen exposed Jess, these people would encourage the people to support Jess and make this wishful thinking fail.
Not to mention, Jess himself was also very popular among the people. Even if a "human hero" like Rozen exposed him, people would only be skeptical and not believe him completely, right?
Not everyone had the power of Spirit Vision. If Rozen wanted to use this method to take down Jess, it would take a lot of hard work.
Although Alice and Chris were Jess's subordinates and even his sister, if they exposed their identity as humanoid magic beetles to accuse Jess, the result would only be that Jess would bite back and incite the people to believe that Rozan Can was a humanoid magic beetle, and Alice and Chris were working for him to frame him as a human leader.
Of course, this statement would also make the people skeptical.
It must be known that Rozen's popularity was also not low, and he had made great contributions to the human race. No one would easily believe that he was a humanoid magic beetle.
On this point, Jess was the same.
In summary, the two sides could be said to be evenly matched, and using this method, no one could do anything to the other.
It's just …
"I didn't say that you should be used now. There are many ways to use you."
Rozen said disapprovingly and suddenly laughed.
"Anyway, I'll use you as insurance first."
As soon as his voice fell, Rozen stretched out a finger and quickly drew two runes.
The runes turned into a stream of light and swept toward Alice and Chris, engraved on the two of them, and even submerged into their bodies.
"You … what did you do to us …!?"
Alice stood up in a panic.
At this time, Alice found that she could finally move.
Chris was the same. She reflexively covered her chest.
But the two of them didn't feel anything strange. They couldn't even find the runes that submerged into their bodies, which made the two of them confused.
In this regard, Rozen only wanted to say …
"I hope you can sleep well in the future."
After leaving such meaningful words, Rozan Can got up and left.
Only Alice and Chris were left. Their faces were pale, and they didn't know what had happened at all. Their eyes were filled with confusion.
They believed that from today onwards, the two of them would definitely be like what Rozen said, unable to eat well and sleep well.
Because they didn't know what was done to them, and what they should do.
