Defying the Fate of Beheading

Chapter 202 Beatrice May I Borrow Your Adjutant Miss for a Moment (5000 words)


After leaving President Hans' office, Louis finally looked at Alice and said:

"You are quite the schemer, it would have been easier to let Olivia ask about these things."

Alice smiled brightly and said:

"How can you call this scheming? This is reciprocity. Give President Hans a reason to cooperate, so that later we might get a pleasant surprise from him."

Olivia said with a speechless expression:

"Alice, you already plan to get involved in the competition for the titled adventurer, is it necessary to make it so complicated?"

Alice squinted her eyes and said nothing.

Louis glanced at her.

His intuition told him that Alice's real target was some kind of resource from the Adventurer Guild.

He cast his gaze to Little Swan, as if asking her, "What's your opinion, Yuanfang?"

Unfortunately, Little Swan didn't know much from her past life. Living in the Imperial Palace, most of the information she received was filtered and came from others.

Which made her only have a rough idea about many things without understanding the details.

However, since it's something Alice wants, he didn't mind helping her out.

Whenever she wants to talk about it, she naturally will tell him.

Little Swan was speechless at Louis' disdainful look and glared at him fiercely.

"I can't possibly know everything!"

The two of them exchanged glances, trying to convey their emotions through their eyes.

As for whether they could finally understand each other...

That was another matter entirely.

However, Grace was silent on the side.

She watched as Louis and Alice exchanged glances, then showed a knowing expression.

Then she saw Louis and Little Swan exchanging glances, looking like they had little secrets they were keeping from everyone else.

She got a bit anxious.

Why can't you all just speak out? It feels like I'm becoming an outsider.

"Grace, you've worked hard today."

Perhaps noticing Grace's disappointment, Louis gently ruffled her hair.

Grace had made thorough preparations this time.

During this trip in the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm, everyone really fought viciously.

The Church of Light and Justice valued Grace more than he imagined.

High purity Holy Water, which many couldn't buy even with money, others used sparingly one bottle at a time.

Grace... she used them batch by batch.

Also, some Divine Arts like Protection Against Evil and Evil Strikes, were extraordinarily effective under the blessing of grace.

It was like maxing out on evil fighting skills.

So, this praise was from the bottom of his heart.

Grace really worked hard.

The warmth from his palm passing through her hair made Grace reveal a reassuring expression:

"I-I will continue to work hard!"

...

After the group split up again, Louis walked with Olivia.

"Are you going to find Beatrice?" Louis asked,

Little Swan nodded.

Before leaving, Little Swan found a corner, activated a soundproof barrier, and after isolating Lumi, she asked Louis:

"What kind of place is your hometown."

Louis asked curiously:

"Why suddenly ask this?"

Little Swan said:

"I just find it strange, why you can so easily come to this world."

Louis laughed:

"There's no why, you come as you come."

How was he supposed to explain this, should he tell Little Swan "sorry, transmigrator souls are just remarkable"?

It's impossible even to think about it.

Perhaps sensing Louis' thoughts, Little Swan frowned and shook her head:

"After I learned about your situation, I investigated the historical sins."

"The inheritors of the sins did not appear on the continent for the first time."

"Including your Sin of Greed, its inheritors have left traces on the continent in the past, only many people do not know that the person was a Sin."

Louis nodded.

He had guessed this a long time ago.

The inheritors of the sins could not have appeared for the first time.

Look at the Emperor's side, they even let the White Tower try to extract the Abyss' essence to artificially create a new Sin, it shows how familiar they are with it.

The inheritors of the sins have existed on Star Continent for a long time.

"So, within the royal family."

"You must know one thing, before you came to the Star Continent, the Hazard Kingdom was already a Sin of Greed."

"The Sin of Greed is not appearing on Star Continent for the first time, in more distant times, others have grasped this power as well."

"Unlike other sins, the Sin of Greed and the Sin of Gluttony, both of their possessors have the ability to devour souls."

"Ordinary legends may not be able to resist the spontaneous devouring of the Sin of Greed."

"You won't tell me that in your past life, in your homeland, you already had a soul as resilient as a legend, right?"

Louis paused.

Involuntarily, his heart twitched slightly.

He had actually thought about this a long time ago.

Why was it him who transmigrated?

Was it by chance, or some kind of inevitability?

But he didn't dare to think much about it.

He also thought about whether it was possible to return home.

But his heart told him that if he held too much hope for this, he would be very hurt when the time came.

Having no hope wasn't the scariest thing, the scariest thing was when a glimmer of hope arises, only to be cruelly extinguished again.

At that time, Louis thought he would feel worse.

But since Little Swan took the initiative to bring up this issue, Louis asked:

"You don't think I was summoned to this world by some existence, do you?"

Olivia nodded, but after a moment of thought, she shook her head:

"I remember you once told me that your world has nothing to do with our Star Continent, right?"
