Kieran looked at the words on the page. He was not surprised.
When Kieran suspected Fenkes, the people around him were also worthy of suspicion.
Kieran would not judge a person with the worst of intentions.
However, he would not believe that everyone in this world was kind and harmless.
Kieran looked at Simones.
He wanted to ask about Boller in detail.
However, before Simones could explain further, Ferad floated into the room.
"2567, a guest from the Dark Star Society wants to see you!
Very powerful!
Be careful! "
The spirit butler wrote.
"Someone from the Dark Star Society wants to see me?
Is it because of Carlos? "
Kieran raised an eyebrow. His heart was filled with doubts.
Other than the meeting with Carlos at the Celestial Garden, Kieran had nothing else to do with the Dark Star Society.
Nikorei had also explained the incident with Carlos to the Dark Star Society, and the Dark Star Society had accepted it.
The matter had been resolved, and the Dark Star Society would not come looking for Kieran because of it.
Why would they want to see him then?
Kieran did not think that the spirit butler was speaking without a reason.
After Tiki and Simones's example, Kieran knew that no one around Nikorei was simple.
Plus, the spirit butler was not afraid of sunlight, which was a very special trait.
Even though Kieran was puzzled, it did not stop him from thanking the spirit butler for his kindness.
"Thank you, Ferad!"
Kieran said, waving goodbye to Simones before heading to 1st Black Street.
Compared to Boller's strange behavior. This guest of the Dark Star Society had caught Kieran's attention.
Simones knew that as well.
However, Simones did not follow Kieran.
Simones knew very well that if he followed Kieran, something would happen. If he followed Kieran, he would cause more trouble. He would cause more trouble.
...
Kieran saw a familiar man in a dark red suit as he walked into the reception room of 1st Black Street.
The middle-aged man in front of him had a silver handkerchief in his left breast pocket. He was wearing the same dark red suit as Carlos, and his temperament was very similar.
His face, beard, and hair were all meticulously groomed.
There was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
However, unlike Carlos' hidden arrogance, the middle-aged man was very enthusiastic when he saw Kieran. He was also very polite.
"Good afternoon, Mr. 2567!"
"I'm Frostrill from the Dark Star Society. I have to trouble you with something," Frostrill said.
"I hope you can understand."
The other party said.
"If you don't mind, let's sit down."
Kieran, who did not know the purpose of the other party's visit, was not in a hurry. He pointed to the sofa in the reception room and said.
"Thank you!"
The other party immediately thanked him with a smile.
Then, he sat on the sofa.
His sitting posture was not that of a normal person's, but one that was relaxed and elegant.
It was easy to have a good impression of him.
Of course. Kieran was definitely not one of those people.
Kieran's vigilance had been raised to the highest level ever since he saw the other party.
The other party had a faint aura around him. He was much stronger than Carlos and Wilco.
Even though the other party had purposely restrained his aura, a little bit of it still gave off an oppressive feeling, forcing Kieran to focus on dealing with it.
"So powerful!"
Kieran had a general idea of what the spirit butler was talking about.
However, Kieran did not show the shock in his heart.
He looked at the other party directly.
"Mr. Frostrill, why have you come to see me?"
Kieran asked.
"Alcatraz Island!
"Or more precisely, that bronze coffin!"
"We need you to help us open that bronze coffin!"
Frostrill said.
"You need me to open the bronze coffin?"
This time, Kieran could no longer hide the shock on his face.
He had not expected this at all. The other party had come for the bronze coffin.
After all, in his mind. That bronze coffin had already become the exclusive property of the Dark Star Society.
"Yes!"
"Only you, Mister 2567, can open that bronze coffin. It's a fact that we only figured out after paying a considerable price! "
Frostrill had a bitter look on his face.
That bitterness was enough to tell Kieran that the Dark Star Society must have paid a hefty price.
However, he wanted to know what had happened that made the bronze coffin become something that only he could open.
"What happened?"
"I don't remember doing anything to the bronze coffin."
Kieran asked repeatedly.
"Because you did it unintentionally!"
The bitterness on Frostrill's face deepened.
He raised his head and looked at Kieran. After a few seconds of silence, he continued to speak.
"During your battle with Gilfren Hatch, you unintentionally completed the most important step in opening the bronze coffin: the sacrifice!
"You have defeated Gilfren Hatch and offered his flesh and soul to the bronze coffin!"
Maybe you did it unintentionally, but now you are the only one who can open the bronze coffin!
If we want to get what's inside the bronze coffin, we will have to work with you!
Of course, we will pay you handsomely, with Lady Nikorei as our witness! "
After saying that, Frostrill's bitterness turned into a bitter smile.
Kieran finally understood why Frostrill was so polite and passionate.
Frostrill had a favor to ask of him.
Looking at the bitter smile on Frostrill's face, Kieran knew that Frostrill was worried that he would ask for too much.
From the very beginning, the Dark Star Society had shown that they were determined to get their hands on the bronze coffin. Their determination to get their hands on it had been a form of deterrence to others and other factions.
But now … It had become Kieran's bargaining chip.
The more determined the Dark Star Society was to get their hands on the bronze coffin, the more benefits Kieran would receive.
However, Kieran was more concerned about the words "with Lady Nikorei as our witness".
"Rei? You know about this? "
Kieran asked.
"I only dared to appear here with Lady Nikorei's permission. The Night Demon Society has already experienced how powerful Lady Nikorei is. We, the Dark Star Society, do not want to follow in her footsteps.
Besides, your assistant has quite a high position in Lady Nikorei's eyes.
You might not know this, but we have put in a lot of effort just to get this chance to meet you. If it's possible, please consider it carefully. Don't reject us so easily! "
Frostrill's bitter smile faded. He said with a pleading tone.
"It's really Rei!"
Kieran sighed in his heart.
He could imagine what would have happened to him if Nikorei had not been there.
There would not have been such soft pleading and persuasion.
It would have been the most direct form of coercion.
Because of that, Kieran had to ask Nikorei more questions.
He believed Nikorei knew more than he did.
Nikorei would be able to give him better advice.
For example, what kind of payment was suitable for him.
This was something Kieran could not grasp due to his limited knowledge.
If it was too little, he would feel heartache.
If it was too much, Nikorei would not agree.
Only on a point that was not too much and not too little could the two sides reach an agreement.
As for the item inside the bronze coffin?
The meaning behind Frostrill's words was clear.
They would not give up.
That was why they offered something else as compensation.
Kieran took a deep breath and looked at Frostrill.
"I would like to ask for Rei's opinion. I hope you can wait … "
Ring Ring Ring Ring …
Before Kieran could finish, the phone in the reception room rang.
Kieran had a guess in his heart when he saw the phone ring coincidentally.
Nikorei!
Someone who knew the phone number of this place. There were only a few of them, and other than the shaman who could almost see everything, who else could call him in such a coincidence?
After making an apologetic gesture to Frostrill, Kieran picked up the microphone.
Nikorei's voice came from inside.
"2567, you've done a good job as my assistant!"
"Since you were able to kill Wilco, it means that you are capable of standing on your own. That's why I hope you can help me more. There are still some secrets hidden on Alcatraz. I need you to help me find out. "
"I'll propose the Dark Star Society's compensation on your behalf. I'll do it when you land on Alcatraz. Once I hand it over to you, you will definitely be satisfied! "
"How is it?"
Without waiting for Kieran to take the initiative to ask. Nikorei said straightforwardly.
A series of system prompts appeared in Kieran's vision.
[Player's performance has been outstanding. Main Mission 'Be the Shaman's Assistant' has been completed ahead of time. New Main Mission 'Return to Alcatraz' activated]
[Background: Your outstanding performance has pleased Nikorei. She believes that you can stand on your own and help her with more things …]
[Main Mission: Return to Alcatraz]
[Hint: Completing the Main Mission ahead of time and completing a new Main Mission will grant a higher rating!]
...
"A new Main Mission?!"
Kieran was shocked when he read the system prompts.
Kieran would not have been surprised if a Sub Mission had appeared in front of him. He would have thought that it was reasonable.
However, the original Main Mission had been completed ahead of time and a new Main Mission had appeared.
This was a first for Kieran.
"Is it because of the Special Dungeon?
Or is it because of my outstanding performance?
Or is it because of both? "
Kieran wondered.
Nikorei's reply was not slow though.
"As your assistant, how can I refuse?
I'll be on my way!
And … "
Kieran could not refuse a Main Mission.
However, he had to get to the bottom of his doubts.
However, such a question was once again interrupted by Nikorei.
"Trust your own judgment!"
After saying that, Nikorei hung up the phone.
"Trust my own judgment?
That means there really is something wrong with Fenkes! "
Kieran's heart skipped a beat.
Just as Kieran was about to say something to Frostrill, footsteps came from the corridor.
Boller ran in excitedly.
"Dr. Fenkes is back!
"A detective brought him back!"
Hon. 2567, thank you for everything you've done for Dr. Fenkes. I can't thank you enough! "
Boller said as soon as he entered the meeting room.
"That's great!"
Kieran said with a smile.
Deep down, he was laughing coldly.
