Chapter 61: All friends are for benefits
"So... to put it short, we are taking a gamble!" Melodis sighed, watching Johan as he chugged down his coffee with a confident smile.
Sealing Radhaan and Johan relied on the creativity of Kirin and Orihime. They had to... fool him.
Johan had just given them a 5,000-word essay on what to say, how to act, and how to react. He was also going to help them attract Leor and Radhaan through his methods.
Basically, everything that was about to happen was a script written by Johan von Matilda.
Orihime sighed, her face showing a genuine smile for the first time since they had met, "What about the other thing you asked?" she asked, her stare probing.
Johan put the glass on the table with a thud, his eyes softening, "It's a favor of mine. I need this—desperately. And I'll be grateful to you both if you can provide it..."
Orihime still stared thoughtfully at him. Johan finally gave in, "All right, I'll make a separate contract with Velmire and do one thing I'm comfortable doing for him..."
Johan had asked for Velmire's full testimony on everything about Lucifer, his connection with Leor and Radhaan.
This was something Johan wanted to do on the side while saving his family—something he wanted to give to Selene. He wouldn't tell her he was alive, he wouldn't tell her anything. He would just make sure this reached her.
Her loving and forgiving Johan wasn't important right now. What mattered more was her life, her sanity. She would be destroyed if she stayed with that man any longer. And... this could also be used to complete that quest.
Chaos was already about to be unleashed through Kirin and Orihime's attack. This recording would definitely help.
