N-A-A Chapter 39 Who is that man!
Chapter 39 Who is that man!
"Pales?"
"That's one way to go," the Two of Spades nodded.
"However, Joers has always had a good impression of Palles," Heart2 added.
"At that time, it also helped Him to some extent to avoid Amun."
"He even lent the 3 of Diamonds to Palles."
"For so many years, we have lived in peace with Him."
"On the contrary, it's Amon who's been causing us trouble ever since Joers died."
"Perhaps Joers doesn't want Amon to grow up too fast, after all, everyone knows Amon's personality," the Clubs 2 analyzed.
"As for Pales, blame fate..."
"After all, who can say what fate is? Joers did so many things, but in the end..." Clubs 2 fell into memories.
"Neither Solomon nor Salinger, nor any of the others, listened to Him, even though all the consequences He spoke of came to pass."
"And then there's Trensost, who seemed to be the most rational. Joers had warned him, but he still acted rashly without being fully prepared and ended up like that," Heart 2 added.
"You're not allowed to talk about His Majesty the Night Emperor like that. He was only forced into it..." The Ace of Clubs, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.
"Hmph! He was clearly helped up by the Seven Gods, but in the end he thought of betraying them. It's not surprising that he ended up like this." The 2 of Hearts glanced at the Ace of Clubs' scarlet eyes, his tone laced with sarcasm.
"You... Hmph! Someone else isn't much better. If that person hadn't been captured by the night back then, Joers wouldn't have used Ariana, whom he had finally managed to capture, to exchange for her."
"If we had Ariana as a hostage, we wouldn't be so passive when facing the darkness."
The atmosphere at the meeting gradually became tense.
"Arrogance is the nature of all true gods, and Joas is absolutely right about that," said Diamond 2, trying to smooth things over.
At this moment, Plum Blossom 2 seemed to recall something and sighed:
"Fate is indeed strange. Joas had such a good relationship with the night at the beginning, and trusted Him so much."
But in the end…
"The cunning thing about the night is that it can be an ally in everyone's heart. You think it is sincere, but in fact it is betting on many things. Joas stumbled in this regard."
"Actually, for the night, even if the investment fails, it won't lose anything; it's just a matter of making or not making money." Heart2 echoed his colleague's words, expressing his own opinion.
This statement resonated with the meeting participants, since, to put it bluntly, several of them had a grudge against the night.
……
After a moment of silence, the 2 of Spades spoke first.
"Let's find Pales first and take him into our hands. It's better than letting Amon find him."
"The problem now is how to find Him. He was almost captured by Amon last time, so he must be in bad shape," Square 2 analyzed the current situation.
"Should we use that?" Red Heart 2 asked his colleagues.
"Does anyone have any objections?" the Two of Spades asked.
The people around looked at each other, but none of them objected.
Seeing that none of his colleagues objected, Red Heart 2 snapped his fingers, and a ripple appeared in the space, revealing a worn-out wooden box that materialized out of thin air before everyone's eyes.
"The number of times it can be used is getting fewer and fewer." Looking at the wooden box in front of him, Red Heart 2's tone was inexplicably sad.
……
……
Narcissus Street.
"Melissa? I didn't expect to run into you here." Lorne turned around and saw the familiar girl, slightly surprised.
In his mind, Melissa should have lived on Iron Cross Street, but he never expected to run into her on the next street.
"I was also surprised to meet Mr. Disenke here." There was a hint of joy in her voice.
"Perhaps this is not a coincidence, but a destiny."
Lorne suddenly made a joke for some reason.
Upon hearing this, Melissa's cheeks flushed slightly.
……
"Isn't that Melissa?" Klein, who had just finished get off work, was somewhat taken aback by the scene before him. He hadn't expected to run into his sister on his way home from get off work.
He intended to suddenly go over and make a joke to his sister, but found her chatting and laughing with someone else.
Classmates or friends... Klein didn't think much of it and just wanted to go over and say hello.
But he had only taken two steps when he sensed something was wrong.
"Why is this voice male?" Klein, a superhuman with keen hearing, frowned.
He hadn't expected his sister to be chatting so happily with a man.
Melissa has grown up!
But why does it feel like my own cabbage has been eaten by a pig...? Klein's lips twitched slightly.
Although he told himself to stay calm, Klein still felt a surge of inexplicable anger when he saw his younger sister laughing and chatting with a man.
He silently clenched his fists and quietly walked forward.
However, when he carefully examined the man's appearance...
Klein suddenly froze on the spot, stunned as if struck by lightning.
Um... why does that person look so familiar?
Isn't he the same person I met at the fortune-telling club and saw in the gray fog that day?
Why would he know Melissa?
Could it be that he discovered something that day and wanted to find me, but unexpectedly found Melissa instead?
……
"Actually, you can just call me by my first name. I don't really like being called by my surname."
"Alright then, Mr. Lorne." Melissa nodded.
"So, what are you doing here, Mr. Lorne?"
Upon hearing this, Lorne seemed somewhat uncomfortable.
I can't exactly say I'm here to find someone to report, can I?
His eyes darted around and he quickly came up with a reason.
"I came to this neighborhood specifically to check out places I'm looking to rent."
"Rent a house?"
"That's right, I'm from out of town. I've been staying in hotels lately, and although the environment is nice, the expenses are too high, so I'm thinking of renting a house."
I heard from the rental company that this neighborhood is nice, so I came to check it out.
"Really? That's a coincidence. I can offer some advice; I just moved." Melissa's tone was delighted upon hearing this.
"Yeah?"
"That's right, I only recently moved here from Iron Cross Street."
"Oh, no wonder I ran into you on the next street." Lorne nodded in agreement.
Melissa then shared her advice on renting an apartment with him, and even recited her own advice on how to hire a qualified maid.
Seeing her enthusiastic expression, Lorne thought to himself, "She really is a thrifty and hardworking girl."
After chatting for a while, Lorne declined Melissa's offer to be his guide for free and said goodbye to her.
Besides the fact that he himself didn't really want to rent a place, Lorne also noticed a strange gaze.
This bothered him somewhat.
……
Not long after Lorne left.
"Melissa, who was that man just now?!"
Melissa turned around and saw her second brother emerge from the shadows at the street corner, asking her a question in a slightly accusatory tone.
