Chapter 85: Advent of the Pages 2
"Well, I don’t know much about them, but they’re called the Astro Society." Speed relaxed on the sofa while Raiden stood before him.
"Back in Kingston City, they used to pester people with their beliefs, and they’re also fans of the book of Aaron."
Raiden smiled. Getting a start wasn’t as hard as he’d anticipated. He just hoped they could offer some real help.
"You’ll have to take me to Kingston City, then, Speed."
Noelle interrupted from behind as she came down the stairs. "What is going on, bookkeeper?"
"You’ve been acting strange since yesterday—you know something about the assassins, don’t you?"
Raiden ignored her. He had already forgotten she was even in the house with them, and dealing with her wasn’t part of his plans.
"Rule Domain."
Noelle’s domain formed around them in an instant. Raiden began to swallow nervously, sweat beading on his face. Within Noelle’s domain, she could get everything out of him. He didn’t fear telling the truth—he feared revealing more than he intended.
"You have to tell me now." She walked toward Raiden, her aether cigarette resting in her mouth. "What’s going on?"
Raiden stood still, his eyes darting around, hoping for the domain to force the truth out of him, but nothing happened. He then smirked. She could only change and make rules—she couldn’t issue commands.
"Well, it’s about the FIRMO assassins. They’re after specific pages from the book of Aaron."
