Chapter 305: The Observer of All Things (1)
Keter wondered why Aporphis, something that should be in the Godfather’s possession, was in Killian’s hands. This wasn’t something he could simply brush aside.
Did he steal it from the Godfather?
Today alone, Keter had been made aware of just how formidable the Syndicate truly was, but the same applied to the Godfather. The White Lotus Society to which he belonged ruled all of Liqueur.
Stealing from the Godfather, or even taking something from him by force, is practically impossible. And even if it were possible, there’s no way Killian would be this calm about it.
This only meant one thing: the Godfather had properly transferred the ownership of Aporphis to Killian, and not just the weapon itself, but with the seal already released.
The White Lotus Society and the Syndicate made a deal.
That was the conclusion Keter had come to. Obviously, he didn’t know what kind of deal this was, but what mattered was that the White Lotus Society and the Syndicate were in contact.
Two secret organizations capable of shaking the world forming an alliance was critical information—something only Keter, a native of Liqueur, a regressor, and someone who never overlooked even the smallest detail, could piece together.
The alliance between the White Lotus Society and the Syndicate put Keter on guard.
If the Godfather is targeting me, then the Syndicate could easily become my enemy as well.
However, judging by their reactions so far, their relationship didn’t seem to have become that deep yet.
Though Keter’s thoughts were long, only 0.2 seconds had actually passed. If he showed even a hint of emotion at the sight of Aporphis, Killian would surely use it as a clue, so Keter activated Mandala. He split a single second into thirty, so to Killian, it looked as though Keter had picked up Aporphis without giving it any particular importance.
