Chapter 88 - Interest in Lira’s Ability
"Mr. Cruxius, is this a declaration of war?"
"Do you have proof the Association ordered the hit?"
"Are you blaming Eventide directly?"
"What does the Blac Corporation plan to do next?"
"Will you press charges against the Hero Association?"
"Do you fear for your life now?"
Cruxius stood from his seat within the hall room and directly turned as he made his way out through the entrance, followed by Darithi, as he did what he had to do—give a press conference to instigate everyone into following the path he had decided for them.
"Master, why did you tell me to find a location near Zone 7 if you were already considering Station Kael?" Darithi inquired, considering she had been ordered by him to find another station near the same Zone 7, even though previously he had instructed her that his strategy was to announce the details of the gene serum within the train passing through that particular station.
"...Don’t be too curious, Darithi," Cruxius said, his hands tucked in his pockets. He glanced back towards Darithi, giving her a wink, knowing how curious she was about his orders.
It was expected, but he was thinking something else. Still, knowing he should at least leave a clue, he added, "You see, some smart fellow might want to die together with me... So, shouldn’t I be one step ahead of them?"
"Then... shouldn’t we have more people with us?" Darithi sheepishly asked. Cruxius had told her that they were the only ones present on the train, which had inevitably become a target of Zone Seven.
