Chapter 876: Conditions and Bargains
After a moment of silence, Su Xiao continued:
"There is only one clue about the Codex: a Level 0 Esper named Motoharu Tsuchimikado in Academy City. Finding him will lead me to the next clue. That's why I'm here in Academy City."
Su Xiao revealed some information that might have been exposed during his actions, such as an unknown Codex and the clue involving Motoharu Tsuchimikado, all of which were true.
Su Xiao's attitude was to pose as a member of some organization. He only showed his martial strength, while his alchemical skills would be revealed "accidentally," possibly as a life-saving measure.
"As for the Codex, according to existing information, it's extremely dangerous. If it can't be safely transported, I suggest destroying it."
Having stated his purpose, Su Xiao waited for Aleister's response.
"Where are you from?" Aleister asked a tricky question that could jeopardize the negotiation if not answered correctly.
"An organization for clearing and investigating magical and strange entities. We are a demon-hunting family responsible for eliminating mages and their creations. I'm the third generation."
Su Xiao extended his hand, letting Qinggang Ying's energy flow.
