Chapter 251: Gluttony Module
"I thank you for your advice, Your Highness."
Cain clasped his hand and bowed toward the Collapsing Lightning Duke for his words.
The Collapsing Lightning Duke nodded before staring into Cain’s eyes for a while and finally raising his index finger, generating a drop of blood. He began to charge a massive amount of black lightning into it, and once it reached its zenith, he sent it toward Cain.
Cain’s eyes widened when he saw that drop of blood flash toward him, and it was so fast that before he could do anything, it landed on his shoulder, generating a strange rune in the form of a lightning arc before vanishing beneath his skin. He could not help but frown since even if he detected no danger from the drop of blood, he did not like people doing things to his body without asking.
"Blood Sea had never been a simple place, and right now, the dangers for an outsider like you could not be more serious. When the time comes, the rune will act on its own. If you are lucky, you might not need it."
The Collapsing Lightning Duke’s face was pale, making it clear that generating that drop of blood came at a great price. He saw the inquisitive gaze in Cain’s eyes but was not in the mood to answer questions and signaled for Luther to take the young man out.
Luther bowed to the Collapsing Lightning Duke and brought Cain to the teleportation matrix. Once they were back on the first floor, he began to speak as they walked toward the exit.
"Major Laurifer, there is a reason why the Collapsing Lightning Duke did not give you an explanation about the rune on your shoulder. You should forget it exists and depend only on your power for the trial that would come in the future."
Cain’s eyes narrowed when he heard that. He understood the meaning behind the words of the bald man, and while he nodded, he was not the type that would let things slide.
Once Cain was out of the Titan Tower and dashing back to his residence, he spoke to the system in his mind.
"System, what is the current state of the [A.I. Chip Module]."
Unlike the other modules, the [A.I. Chip Module] would evolve alongside his soul force and would not need his direct intervention.
