Chapter 373: A Future Without Me (1)
Jenny knew well that if Keter decided to do something, he would follow through. Even so, she couldn’t believe it.“Keter. Just pretending to be dead won’t be enough to pass through here. I have to truly believe you’re a corpse.”
“I know that. That’s not the problem. With the Godfather’s personality, there’s no way he left only one gatekeeper.”
The Godfather was meticulous. He would never do something as careless as placing a guard only on the outside. There had to be someone on the inside as well.
And that person is going to be stronger than Jenny.
It could be Sword Demon Balt, or Ragnon the Bomber. No matter who it was, if Keter entered in a dead state, his body would likely be destroyed before he ever had the chance to come back.
Jenny nodded. She hadn’t been told directly, but she knew the Godfather wouldn’t rely on her alone. There was no other way. If the Godfather had arranged it, there would be no flaws.
A forced choice—that was what he always emphasized. Keter, too, would have to choose: kill Jenny and go underground, or give up. However, Keter didn’t fall into choices prepared by others. He simply refused to choose them.
“I’ll go in as a corpse. Jenny, throw me into the underground.”
“...You trust me?”
“I trust myself, who is trusting you.”
“That’s reckless.”
