Chapter 376: A Future Without Me (4)
Keter and Balt stood facing each other in silence. In this land of death, where even Master-level warriors suffered, neither of them was affected.Keter endured through Logistic, the Authority he received from Amon. Balt stood beneath a crimson umbrella formed from his blood sword, Dracula.
“I told you. If you didn’t follow me, I’d have no choice but to kill you.”
Balt wasn’t threatening him. He sounded like an older brother scolding a younger one.
Keter replied in kind, “You were the one who betrayed trust first. Before that, I really thought you were someone I could rely on.”
“You call it betrayal just because I was gone for one day?”
“You say that knowing what happened that one day? Seven died, and five became crippled.”
“I didn’t know they would attack while I was gone. When I came back, I killed them all. That should be enough, shouldn’t it?”
“That revenge felt good, but it didn’t bring anyone back.”
“I left to negotiate with the Godfather. In the end, I succeeded, and Liqueur became a better place. The reason I serve him to this day is to make not just Liqueur, but the entire world a better place.”
“Surviving doesn’t mean living well, Balt.”
“Don’t twist my words. I know that. The Godfather, as well as I, seek a world of equality. We want a world without poverty or suffering—a fair world. And it won’t take long,” Balt said, extending his hand. “It’s not too late, my foolish brother. Cooperate with me now. Even if the Godfather doesn’t forgive you, I will.”
