Coincidence!
What a coincidence!
It was so coincidental that even without Nikorei's confirmation, Kieran was sure of his suspicions. ≧ >
Now?
Kieran thought of more things.
Boller had used the excuse of asking for help, but he was actually monitoring Kieran's every move.
Otherwise, how could Fenkes have appeared at the right time?
However, there was one thing that surprised Kieran.
Fenkes knew that the Dark Star Society needed Kieran to open the bronze coffin.
"Is it because he got in touch with the secrets of the bronze coffin?
Or is it because of the clues that Gilfren Hatch left behind? "
Kieran guessed.
He turned his attention to the corridor.
Fenkes had come out from the corridor.
His entire body was covered in dust, and his face was filled with fatigue. His expression was even more exhausted.
Anyone would be able to come to a conclusion with just a glance, such as' this man in front of me has not been doing well recently '.
Kieran was no exception.
This only made Kieran more cautious.
Fenkes had disguised himself too well.
In order to fool Kieran, Fenkes had been acting the truth.
"2567, thank you for everything you've done for me!"
When the man said those words with gratitude and sincerity, Kieran's heart shuddered even though it wasn't cold.
He could not imagine a man could lie in such a realistic manner.
What would happen if Fenkes took off his mask?
What would he be?
A monster that chose to devour people?
Kieran thought in his heart, but it did not stop him from smiling at Fenkes.
If he wanted to deal with a monster, he would have to be scarier than one.
Kieran did not know who had said that.
He was doing it now.
It was a little involuntary, but more than that, he could only describe it as excitement.
He did not seem to mind doing it.
On the contrary, he seemed to be immersed in it.
It was similar to the immersion he felt every time he entered a dungeon world.
Kieran did not have the time or the chance to savor the feeling in detail.
All he knew was to complete his mission and reap more rewards.
It was as if he was looking at Fenkes with a smile on his face.
"You have helped me before. This is what I should do."
Such words didn't need to be considered at all. They were practically blurted out.
It was almost instinctive.
"My help to you was just a matter of convenience, but your help to me is a life-saving grace!"
"This is different!"
"This is?"
Fenkes emphasized. He then shifted the topic to Frostrill.
"Good afternoon!"
"I'm Frostrill from the Dark Star Society."
Frostrill introduced himself politely when Fenkes asked him about his identity.
"Greetings, Sir Frostrill!"
"I know the Dark Star Society is stationed on Alcatraz Island, but if I may be so bold as to ask, is it possible for someone else to land on the island?"
Fenkes asked in a respectful tone.
"Of course!"
As a matter of fact, I am here to invite Mr. 2567 to Alcatraz!
Frostrill glanced at Kieran. When he saw that Kieran had no intention of stopping him, he immediately smiled and explained the purpose of his visit.
"What?!"
"Then … Then, can I bring another person to the island?
"I need something to help those poor children!"
"Those things are not worth mentioning to you, but they are very important to me. I beg you!"
After a series of exclamations, Fenkes said in a tearful voice.
Frostrill furrowed his brows.
It seemed like the members of the Dark Star Society had no idea what was going on.
Kieran, who had been impressed by Fenkes's performance, stepped forward to explain the situation.
Kieran was sure that his kind gesture was part of Fenkes's plan.
If Fenkes did not explain himself, what would he say?
He would have someone else to help him.
Kieran subtly glanced at Boller.
Boller must have been Fenkes's backup plan.
However, since Kieran wanted to figure out Fenkes's true intentions, he did not need Fenkes's backup plan to help him.
"I see!
This is beyond my authority, so I'll have to ask my leader for instructions! "
Frostrill said in a deep voice.
Kieran gestured for Frostrill to go ahead.
Frostrill walked over to the phone in the reception room.
Fenkes, on the other hand, was looking at Frostrill anxiously and hopefully.
He was the perfect example of an Awaiting One.
Kieran watched Fenkes's acting skills and tried to comfort him from time to time. Then he waited patiently.
Kieran had a rough idea of what would happen next.
As long as the Dark Star Society wanted to get their hands on the bronze coffin, they would not give up on the chance to go to Alcatraz Island.
Even bringing one or two more people would be a good idea.
Everything was as Kieran had expected.
After a while, Frostrill turned around with the news.
"Our leader has agreed to your request!
But only one person! "
Frostrill said to Kieran.
"Thank you! Thank you so much!
The children can be saved!
When do we leave? "
Fenkes was so excited that he couldn't even speak properly.
However, his suggestion was accepted by Frostrill.
The Dark Star Society members looked at Kieran again.
"I need some time to prepare!"
Kieran said.
"I'll be patient!"
Frostrill said as he watched Kieran leave the reception room.
...
Kieran returned to his room on the second floor.
Simones was already waiting for him at the door.
Kieran opened the door and gestured for Simones to enter.
"You noticed something was wrong with Boller?"
Kieran asked after the door was closed.
"Yes!
I first noticed it when I asked him to apply the [Calming Ointment] on the children. He didn't apply it right away, but he smelled it.
It was a subconscious action. Only a potioneering apothecary would do that! "
Simones nodded.
"A potioneering apothecary?
Fenkes must have arranged for me to be under surveillance! "
Kieran was surprised by Boller's identity.
A potioneering apothecary was also a special kind of person.
Only those who were familiar with hundreds or even thousands of different herbs and could concoct multiple effective potions could be called potioneering apothecaries.
Even among special people, there were not many who could do it.
"What surveillance?
I only said that Boller might be a potioneering apothecary. I never said he was a surveillance officer.
He's been under my watch most of the week, or he's been taking care of the children. Unless he can clone himself, he wouldn't have been able to keep an eye on you!
Besides, have you forgotten about Ferad? "
With Ferad around, no one in this world would be able to keep an eye on 1st Black Street!
I can assure you that Boller is not one of them! "
Simones said confidently.
"It's not Boller?"
Then why did Fenkes appear so accurately?
Could it be … "
Kieran suddenly thought of an impossible possibility.
